71yr-Old Pedals 175 Miles for Seriously Ill Children

At 71 years old, do you think you could cycle for two days crossing state borders, completing a total of 175 miles? Mickey Abraham is doing just that and raising funds for Camp Simcha during the Bike4Chai ride.

Mickey and 300 other riders will take off in Asbury Park, NJ on July 31 and 175 miles later, will be greeted by the smiles of seriously ill children at Camp Simcha in Glen Spey, NY on August 1. Bike4Chai, now in its fourth year, has raised more than $1 million in donations so far and is looking to surpass last year’s total of $1.8 million.

Mickey is the oldest rider participating in Bike4Chai.
