TEAMM4M Fundraising

TEAMM4M Fundraising

THANK YOU! Thank you very much for joining the TEAM and committing to raising much needed funding for melanoma research. We are so thrilled to have you with us this year.

Let's face it, life is hard. Adding a marathon training program and fundraising to your list of things to do is a lot to ask of anyone, so we're hoping you will just do your best and share your plans with your friends and family. By doing so, we know you'll be able to raise money for the MRF that will help us find effective treatments for melanoma patients.

After you registered you were given the opportunity to create a fundraising page. That page is going to the be the best tool you can use to reach out to everyone you know and ask them to support you as your train for your run. Typically, once a runner sets up his or her page, adds a photo and writes a heart felt note about why they're doing this and how melanoma has affected them, and sends it out to their contact list, they raise over $1000 in less than a week! It seems hard to believe, but it's true. So take a few minutes to make that page a very special message that you'll share with anyone and everyone. Send it out and watch the funding come rolling in!

There is no minimum fundrasing amount required to participate in TEAMM4M. We just ask that you do your best and send out that fundraising page. That's all you have to do.
