Every year people from across the globe embark on the "Wheels of Love" bike ride to raise funds for the Alyn Orthopedic Hospital and Rehabilitation Center in Jerusalem. This year's fund raising goal is $3 million, which will benefit children being treated at Alyn. Today, the hospital's 20th bike-ride event begins and will end on Thursday, November 14. The organization is expecting nearly 500 riders to participate.
"The funds raised allow us to give the children the treatments and therapies they require, rather than limit the care to the basic needs that are covered by the Israeli national healthcare system,” said Alyn director-general Dr. Maurit Beeri.
In order to ensure the safety of those participating, certain roads will be temporarily blocked off during the event. Below is a list of where and when sections of road will be closed.
Sunday 10.11.2019 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
