Who is Team Balagan:
Team Balagan is you, me, my extended community, and everyone who has sponsored or assisted me in meeting my goal of raising as much as I can for the ALYN hospital, Jerusalem. Team Balagan is my fellow riders. Team Balagan is my former paralegal, Jerry, who with his children, Adriana, Reagan and Christian, are [have been]busy helping me get the word out. Jerry's managed and printed my sponsor appeals from my donor list which he converted to a database. The kids are busy stuffing envelopes and affixing address labels.
This year Jerry and the kids (and thank you, Mary, for lending Jerry to me for a few hours this time of year, once again) have gotten the mailing out and now we're cross-checking returned envelopes. And thanks to Linda who selflessly watches me fly off to the middle east for two or three weeks to ride a bicycle as a fundraiser for a cause in which we believe.

Our Goal
Rehabilitation is expensive. Our goal this year is $3,000,000. Every contribution counts.
Your checks are fully tax deductible! Can I count on you for a contribution of $250 or more? Please, if you can't afford that much, send what you can, $18, $72, $180, but please help me help ALYN. Help ALYN's staff continue to do what they know best: state-of-the-art pediatric and adolescent rehabilitation. Help us to help them!
How do I sponsor you and donate to ALYN?
You can sponsor me and donate online. Just go to my profile page and sponsor me there!
