RawHinies Cycling ...
RawHinies is a group of families and friends who ride the Colorado Bike MS tour as a team to support the fight against Multiple Sclerosis. We have riders and volunteers diagnosed and living with MS. In addition, every rider pedals to support a good friend or family member affected by this disease!
The RawHinies team has been awarded and recognized by the Colorado MS Chapter each year from 2004 to 2008- every year since our inception! In 2004 the team took home "Best Team Jersey" and in 2005 and 2006 was honored with "Best Team Tent" (a new award in 2005). 2007 brought us the "Best Team Jersey" AND the "Team Spirit" award. Last year, in 2008, we received "Best Team Jersey" and "Best Team Tent". These honors show how much spirit and fun we have as a team.
Fund-raising for MS...
Congratulations to the 2008 RawHinies Team - We were the #1 fund-raising team with over $138,000.
The true measure of our success as a team is how we rank each year in our fund-raising efforts.
The RawHinies were established in 2004 with just 16 riders, in 2008 we rode with 90 riders and raised over $138,000. In these past 6 years the RawHinies have raised over $440,000.
In 2004, our inaugural year we were the fifth place team in fund-raising. The following year we moved up one position to fourth overall. In 2006 we kicked it up another gear taking the third position for our efforts. You know we were not content to rest on our laurels (or saddles) and stay in third place and you might expect us to take over the number two spot. You would be right; number two belonged to us for 2007! Our effort and commitment gained us the number ONE spot in 2008.
You can see we are very focused and motivated to raise money to fight MS. While the fund-raising is the purpose and the goal, we have lots of fun getting there. Each year as the team has grown in numbers we have also grown in smiles through the miles. Team support makes the job so much easier. We have come together for the cause; we stay together because of the people on the team. We welcome anyone to join us to fight this disease because together, as a team, we ARE making a difference!
