Team Wanta raised $30,336 for Multiple Sclerosis (about 10% of
the Oregon 2002 MS150 total), bringing our six-year total funds raised to
$153,831.
For
the fourth year in a row, Team Wanta recruited the largest team for the
Oregon MS150 - 47 cyclist (plus 5 volunteers) (over 10% of the total field
of participants).
Team Wanta extends congratulations to
other teams and individuals for their outstanding efforts. We
have collectively come a long way since Team Wanta's first year of
involvement with the top five teams now contributing almost $125,000
(almost five times the total of the top five teams in 1998).

Congratulations to our Team Wanta top
individual fund raisers!
We welcome 4 new cyclists to the
$1,000+ club - Derek, Jen, Lynne, and Jerry! Congratulations on
achieving this substantial pledge level.
Additionally, while the order of our
top five fundraisers has not changed from 2002, their
accomplishments certainly have - this year they collectively increased
their total fundraising by 40% ($17,571 in 2003 from $12,435 in 2002)
(Doug led the way with an 80% increase - WOW!) - way to go top
fundraisers!

Curious about those yellow cyclist
numbers? Yellow cyclist numbers are reserved for the top 100
fundraisers. This year Team Wanta had 10 cyclists in the top 100
(the cut-off was about $610).
