Team Survivor Newsletter April 2022

Can you believe the Team Survivor pink armada will be riding around beautiful Lake Tahoe in 58 days? It’s time to THINK PINK and maximize your fundraising and training efforts. Remember that LLS has invested nearly $1.3 billion in cancer research since 1949, leading to nearly every advancement in blood cancer treatment and breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine. What you do contributes to treatments, patient support and cures – please help us reach our $100,000 goal! Thank you for signing up with Team Survivor to Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.


TRAINING

We have just NINE Saturday Training Rides before we head to Tahoe. We’re getting to the fun part of the training season where the rides are getting longer and we’ll see more and more climbing. Please join the team for the Saturday training rides as often as possible so you are ready to ride when we get to Lake Tahoe!

On that note, come join us Saturday in Colorado Springs for a great ride with Team NEO followed by Hurts Donut! Here’s the FB invite – https://www.facebook.com/events/1375808582883532


FUNDRAISING

It’s the final stretch for fundraising! We have just a little under two months to fundraise and reach our $100,000 goal. Even if you’ve reached your personal goal, please email, send letters, post and beg so we can fund a critical research portfolio for blood cancer patients! Unfortunately a number of teammates have dropped due to conflicts and injuries so we need each of you to help us over the finish line. Thanks for everything you are doing for blood cancer patients and their families! As of April 1st we have raised $67,508!
