HOW TO JOIN TEAM FAVA

​

Virtual Riders, Runners, and Walkers:

​

The benefit of joining Team FAVA virtually is that you have maximum flexibility to shape your participation as you see fit.  Bike, run, or walk at your own pace!  Create your own path and complete it anywhere, anytime!  Set your own distance goal!  Reach your goal on one day or among many!  Team up with family and friends (two-legged or four-legged)!   

      

Step 1:  Set Your Goals - Day(s), Time(s), Distance, Method(s) of Exercise.

​

Step 2:  Set Up Your Fundraising Page 

Click HERE to set up your fundraising page.  You will be directed to Project FAVA’s Million Dollar Bike Ride homepage on our fundraising platform, Givebutter.  Click on the “Fundraise” button, and follow the instructions to set up your own personal fundraising page.*   

​

Step 3:  We kindly request that you either donate $50 (or whatever amount you can) or commit to raising at least $250.  One-hundred percent of your donation and fundraising dollars go directly to Project FAVA and is tax-deductible in the United States.       

​

Step 4:  Share Your Fundraising Page

Share your personal fundraising page with friends and family via email, social media, and direct text message**.    

​

Step 5:  Join MDBR’s Strava Club (Optional) and Have Fun (Mandatory)! 

Strava is a website and app that allows you to track your performance and log your miles.  When you join Strava’s Million Dollar Bike Ride Club, in addition to logging your miles, you can view leaderboards, activity, members, and club posts, and you can be an active part of the community raising money for rare disease research.

Dear friends and family,

As you may know, I have been diagnosed with a rare disease called a fibro-adipose vascular anomaly.  INSERT DETAILS HERE OF YOUR JOURNEY.  

On Saturday, June 8, I am (strapping on my helmet/lacing up my sneakers) and (riding/running/walking) my best for Team FAVA in the 2024 Million Dollar Bike Ride.  I am (riding/running/walking) to improve the lives of everyone like me with FAVA.    

Thank you in advance for supporting me!
