Such a beautiful September! Lots of great riding including Tour of the Moon and the 10th Annual Double Cheeseburger Ride. We know the snow and cold is coming so we’ll continue to take advantage of the great weather and ride while we can. As the weather starts to get colder, it’s time to start thinking seriously about your fundraising plan. Even though our event is eight months away, it’s always best to start early so you’re not trying to hit your minimum while you are focused on training for Lake Tahoe. Happy Halloween and 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.

GORILLA FUNDRAISING
As you all know, my goal for Team Survivor has always been to reach $1,000,000 in donations. Thanks to the generosity of our family and friends and persistent fundraising by Team Survivor since 2016, we have the opportunity to hit the goal this year. But we’ll need everyone’s best effort to hit our gorilla-sized expectations! Here is the math. Since 2106, the team has raised a total of $887,826.95. A huge thank you to those legacy team members who have contributed to this total, some of you for many years! So far we have $7331 in fundraising for 2024 so we need $104,842 more to reach $1,000,000. This is why having a big team is critical this year. Let’s get 40+ riders and hit a million!
- $887,826 – Total donations raised by Team Survivor since 2016
- $7331 – Donations received for 2024 season
- $104,842 – Donations needed to hit $1,000,000
Sponsorship Opportunity
If you’re looking for a way to maximize your fundraising in 2024, consider pursuing a Team Survivor Sponsorship. The program is very straight forward; any company that donates $5,000 or more to Team Survivor by the end of 2023 will have their logo added to the back of next year’s jersey. The donation goes directly to your personal fundraising account so this will give you a big jump for the year.
The jersey shown here is just an example to show sponsor logos, the 2024 TS jersey is much cooler than this!

Mestaa’ėhehe Mountain
This is a big week, I have surgery on Monday and chemotherapy starts Tuesday. I wanted to take a minute to thank each of you who has reached out to offer help and support over this past very challenging month. I can’t tell you how much Meli and I appreciate all the love. Meli is taking great care of me – she has literally been to every appointment, lab test and imaging test. She takes notes, asks questions and is always there for me. We know this week is just the first step but we’re staying positive and ready for the fight! If you want to check in next week, send a text to Meli or I and we’ll get in touch as we are able. Hope to see you soon!
John
