JJ Eizik has been faced with cancer five times before his 30th birthday and has underwent 20 surgeries that included the loss of his left leg, where a cancerous tumor on his femur originated. While cancer has taken a major toll on his life, Eizik hasn’t lost his love for Torah and Yiddishkeit, as well as athletics, making the Bike4Chai ride not just a charity event, but a way to keep pushing himself despite past hardships.
