Welcome to the Personal Page of Jeff Skumautz
Here I go again! I hope this letter finds you, your family, and all your friends in good health. Over the last 7 years I said, "I hope I can continue to ride in this great event for a few more years as a show of support for such a worthy cause". However, MY age may be catching up with me, but for now, we're in for 2024!!!
As I've said before, it seems as though we have all met, or know some family that has been affected by this terrible disease called ALS. I'm reaching out to you again this year to ask for your continued support of my fundraising effort to help those local families that have a member living with ALS. Keep in mind this disease continues to destroy the entire family's dreams in addition to your individual loved one living with the disease. So with that in mind, I'll ride again in hopes that the financial support over our past 7 years from TEAM SKUMAUTZ has made a difference for some of those families.
As you read my personal page, you'll see its proven that donors working together as a team, make a difference. This will be my 8th year as a participant in the NEVER SURRENDER event and as a team I'm proud to say that over the past 7 years TEAM SKUMAUTZ has raised $50,998. With that said, I realize I already owe all of you a big THANK YOU for your past years of support, but I'm coming back yet again.
You never know when tragedy may strike you or a loved one. For me, this all started back in 2017 with Rita, (my friend pictured above). I was reminded of this terrible disease again in 2021 with a good friend of mine loosing a brother to ALS, and another friend and classmate of mine is currently caring for his wife who was diagnosed in 2022 with ALS as well. Just from these three cases alone, there is enough incentive for me to continue OUR efforts again this year. If you make the decision to give, you'll join a very generous group that made a personal decision last year to partner with Team Skumautz to help with dedicated research, as well as provide support to local residents that are trying to cope with ALS.
I hope you'll consider supporting this worthy cause once again, and if you haven't been with us before, hopefully you'll consider joining this dedicated group of contributors in the 2024 Never Surrender Event. Please remember, 100% of the proceeds are awarded locally to those inflicted with this terrible disease.
It was an honor for me to present your donations of $8,925.00 to the campaign last year, while the overall event raised $1,825,000 in 2023. LIFETIME contributions from this event have exceeded $17.3 million dollars!!!!! There has been a very ambitious goal set by NEVER SURRENDER to reach $2,000,000 in the 2024 event. I'm hoping you'll consider joining this year for possibly MY FINAL RUN, to help raise $9,002.00, ($77 more than last year), which would bring YOUR TEAM'S total to $60,000 over our 8 year run. This is an extra special event in the fact that it will be the 25th Anniversary of the Blizzard Tour which is scheduled for 2/8/24 - 2/10/24. This will be a 3 day ride of NEARLY 500 MILES....... Could be my last???
