Letter #1:
TAKE THE CHALLENGE! RONA MS Bike Tour, Biking to the Viking
or Riding Mountain Challenge
Dear [insert name]:
I
have accepted a major challenge - to participate with over (900/300)
cyclists in the RONA MS Bike Tour, Biking to the Viking or Riding
Mountain Challenge MS Bike Tour. I will ride approximately 170/150
kilometres return.
In the weeks ahead, I will train to ride these many kilometres,
but my journey cannot be successful without your help. You see,
this is a ride with an important mission - to raise public awareness
and funds for over 3,000 Manitobans and their families who live
every day with a most unpredictable and devastating disease - multiple
sclerosis.
I
have made a pledge not only to ride as many kilometres as I
can, but also to make those kilometres "count," by raising funds
to provide services and fund research projects to find the cause
and cure for multiple sclerosis.
The
funds raised through the RONA MS Bike Tour provide hope that
a cure for this mysterious disease will soon be found and while
the search carries on, the MS Society offers support services
and recreation programs for people dealing with the effects
of multiple sclerosis every day.
Please
join me in this journey as we put the brakes on MS. You can
support my ride. Please click here to go to our online pledge page. Your donations is tax deductible and you will receive
an automatic online receipt.
Thank
you in advance for your support of the MS Society and its work.
Sincerely,
[your name]

THE PERSONAL CHALLENGE: RONA MS Bike Tour,Biking to the Viking
or Riding Mountain Challenge
Dear [insert name]:
It's hard to believe, but 2010 will mark my 7th year riding
in the RONA MS Bike Tour, Biking to the Viking or Riding Mountain
Challenge. Since getting involved, I've raised $____ to support
MS research and services, thanks to the generosity of people
like you.
I
never thought there would be a day when my sister Jane would
hear the words, "you have multiple sclerosis". Unfortunately,
since her diagnosis in May of 1999, she has become all too familiar
with the uncertainties that MS brings to a person's life.
My
goal is to raise $____ in the 2010 RONA MS Bike Tour for my
sister Jane and for the 3,000 Manitobans just like her who grapple
with MS each and every day. If you would like to help me reach
my goal in 2010, please click here to go to our online pledge
page. Your donations is tax deductible and you will receive
an automatic online receipt.
Thank
you in advance for your support of the MS Society and its work.
Sincerely,
[your name]
