- Monmouth-Ocean, NJ (1888PressRelease) July 22, 2010 - Elliot S. Zaks, one of the tri-state area's top commercial real estate executives, plans to bicycle 135 miles over two days in August to raise money for children who are battling serious illnesses. Zaks, the Director of Operations of Madison Commercial Real Estate Services (MCRES), has set a goal of raising $15,000 with his sponsored bike ride so that three children with cancer can attend Camp Simcha, a medically-supervised overnight summer camp in Glen Spey, NY.
Every year, Camp Simcha provides a full array of traditional camp activities, from archery to water activities, along with special events such as helicopter rides and concerts, to 430 seriously ill children. A state-of-the-art medical center, dedicated medical team, and specially-trained counselors ensure that even children on chemotherapy can enjoy two weeks of uninterrupted fun. Campers return home enriched by their experiences, filled with happy memories, and armed with a community of friends who will help them through the rough patches in their lives.
The Bike4Chai bicycle ride will start on August 3rd in Lakewood, N.J., and end on August 4th with a triumphant entrance into Camp Simcha in Glen Spey. It has been organized by Chai Lifeline, an international non-profit organization dedicated to meeting the non-medical needs of seriously ill children, their families and communities.
As Zaks noted, "This certainly won't be an easy ride, but neither is life for a child with cancer and other serious illnesses. Camp Simcha offers these children an extraordinary summer experience of fun, friendship and life-long memories. I hope to support this wonderful camp by encouraging people to co-sponsor the Bike4Chai bike ride."
