What can I say other then our hope is that until Eli fully recovers bkarov that we have days like today. He finally woke up happier then he’s been in a while and felt very good and ate like the Eli we knew 3 weeks ago. We also had a pretty busy day. He went to his zaidys kollel where a yarchei kalla with a full house was taking place in Beth Jacob in his zchus and Binyomin Chaim Ben Faigie Sarah zchus. He really felt good knowing that so many people were all learning in his and his friend Bennys zchus for the few minutes he spent learning some Chumash. Thanks to everyone that came it was truly inspiring to Eli, myself and family to see and feel.

Then it was off to the beech where we took a long nice bike ride (all bundled up it was pretty cold) which we all really enjoyed biking and watching a skate board show. He then finally agreed to speak on the phone to a good friend of ours in NY and to a few of his cousins all which he hasn’t done in quite a while.

I don’t want to give us any ayin hora but we hope and daven that the rest of the time that Elimelech Ben Basya is getting treatment that it should go like today and that we should be zoche to see him fight and win this illness in record time with no complications and no more pain. AMEN

Special Announcement

For the last few months a group of our close friends have been arranging to join Chai Lifelines marathon taking place in Florida on 2/2/14. They have already 12+ people just on the “team Eli” group along the many others that run for Chai Lifeline. To do so every runner goes through MONTHS of rigorous training which they have all began doing already. This is one of the bigger fundraisers for Chai Lifeline who anyone who has ever needed their services knows how vital they are when a family member is going through a illness. And for those who BH haven’t had a sick family member and beezrat hashem will never have should know that they are simply a lifeline. Always there and always thinking about what they can do to take their chesed to the next level.

Our family will forever be makir tov to them for what they have done for us and continue to do. Every runner that signs up is essentially pledging $3600 to join the CL team. Aside from the training they do they must also raise the $$. On the link below there is a team Eli page which shows how much together the team has raised but you can click on each persons name and donate directly to their pledge. We beezrat hashem hope as a family to be there together with Eli who will be pushed in a wheelchair/stroller by one of the runners during the marathon

I look at this as a insurance plan that hopefully your donation should chas vshalom never be used towards your family or anyone you know but for us its the ultimate lifeline. Again I ask that anyone that can should please donate whatever they can “every dollar counts”. If you can donate $5 great if you can do more even better. If you can fully sponsor a runner would be amazing. There is also nothing wrong with a runner more then fulfilling their pledges for this great and worthy cause.

Anyone wishing to join the team should please email Ayalaback@gmail.com and anyone wishing to donate should please go to this link: http://www.teamlifeline.org/myteam.php?myid=88.

All I can say simply is “tizku lmitzvos”
