Thank you!! I'm so glad the ride was amazing and I really enjoyed it (wasn't sure I would).

I just moved to Oregon from the Bay Area and I don't know many people here, so I tapped my network of friends/coworkers/family for the fundraising. It was all via email basically. I wrote my letter and sent it to everyone on my contact list and I mean everyone. I setup my website and kept on updating it. I sent out 3 updates (one per month and major milestone). Oh and I posted pictures online which people really liked. I sent out a few letters (via regular mail) to my family and people who are not online much. That didn't really work for me, but others in my team said that was their main source. It really depends on what's the best medium for your network.

Are you doing TNT or other fundraising event?
