GETTING ACTIVE WITH ALYN
This November, we are kicking off the month with community, movement, and more! November 3–6, you joined us in Israel at Wheels of Love and were able to see firsthand the incredible multi-disciplinary approaches ALYN Hospital uses to make each child’s state-of-the-art therapy fun, effective, and long-lasting, allowing them to ride with us through the mountains of Galilee and beyond!
Whether it be hydrotherapy on the rooftop pool, physical therapy and diagnosing using Virtual Reality, or mobility exercises in the hospital, each form of therapy is crafted by a team of experienced experts who prioritize reintegration and management of the patient and family needs inside and outside the hospital. And it all starts with getting active.
Now, it’s your turn.
As we approach Giving Tuesday, we’re launching #GetActiveWithALYN. Inspired by the innovative multidisciplinary approaches used by ALYN Hospital, American Friends of ALYN Hospital is inviting you to get moving this month to showcase the variety of care, commitment, and support of the hospital, its staff, patients, and friends.
Post a photo of you doing your favorite activity, or gathering with friends and family, and upload it to social media with #GetActiveWithALYN, or send it our way through email, and we’ll create a special community college to showcase our community!
Join us on Sunday, November 30th, for our run through Central Park to keep the movement going and build our community!
Can’t make it in person? Don’t sweat it — join us on our ALYN Strava Group on the Strava App, track your workout, and cheer on your fellow group members.
And because Giving Tuesday is ultimately fueling impact, you can take your participation one step further. Just like the multidisciplinary approaches used at the hospital, you can also support the children of ALYN by:
- Making a personal donation to fund therapies, adaptive equipment, and family-centered care.
- Starting a mini-fundraiser and inviting friends to contribute as you get active
- Hosting your own activity or event in honor of ALYN’s patients
Every step you take — and every dollar you raise — directly supports ALYN’s life-changing rehabilitation programs.
The most active participant and the participant who raises the most will receive a limited-edition ALYN hat!
And it doesn’t stop here. December 4th at 6:55 pm, join us at Barry’s Bootcamp in Chelsea, where we will sweat, pedal, and stride in support of #GetActiveWithALYN.
For our friends in Florida, we will be hosting a challah-braiding event on December 18th at 7 pm, with special guest speaker Taly Gedaly at Beit David Synagogue, transforming the work of individual activity into community giving.
We will see you there!
