It's hard to believe that the 2015 Race to Anyplace registration is open! Once again, the Space Monkey Mafia will participate with two teams (the Space Monkey Mafia & the Space Monkey Mafia JV). Last year, the Space Monkey Mafia took first place in the "YMCA Division," and the Space Monkey Mafia JV team took third. The completion was heated against the Hill District YMCA. I'd love to race them again this year, but because I haven't actually worked for a YMCA in two years, I don't feel that we can stay in their division.This year, we will move to the Open Division. I know, you're thinking "didn't you say that last year?" Yes, I did, but I promise to follow up with LLS multiple times to make sure they get it right!
Just like last year, all team members will register under the Space Monkey Mafia main team. Over the next several months, we'll train together, get fast, then decide which riders would prefer to remain on the 'speed' team, and which riders prefer to move to the JV team (who will ride at a less competitive/'for fun' pace). If you have a preference though, make sure to include that on our unofficial roster by clicking here.
I am asking that each rider pledge to donate, or raise $50. This will cover the cost of the bikes for the race ($500 each) and it is going to a great cause. You WILL NOT have to make any donation when you register, you're simply pledging to make the donation at a later time, or raise that money from your network of family & friends.
That's it! Please get registered asap (like now!) so that I can start planning our training. See how below and let me know if you have any questions.
Once you start the process, you will be asked to select your team (remember to choose "Space Monkey Mafia") and complete some other basic information. After that, you will be set up with a personalized link that you can send to family & friends to ask for their support for this cause (look at my page as an example).
The new website provided by Leukemia & Lymphoma society makes fundraising much easier and provides you will tools to send thank you notes, import contacts to email, and more!
