Here’s a polished version of your email—more concise, warm, and motivating, while keeping your personality and story in it:
Subject: Join Us for the 6th Annual F3 + Covering House Mileage Event!
Good morning, friends & family!
The 6th annual F3 + Covering House Mileage Event is almost here, and I’d love for you to be part of it!
This year, I’m sending emails through the event site instead of MailChimp. Two quick reasons:
To respect your inbox—you can easily opt out if you’d rather not receive updates (no hard feelings!).
To avoid spam filters (learned that one the hard way!).
Over the past five years, 3,893 participants have logged 101,770 miles and raised more than $620,000 to support The Covering House in their mission to help youth survivors of human trafficking.
This year, our goals are big:
🌍 Circle the globe twice—49,802 miles
💙 Raise $250,000 for The Covering House
The weeklong virtual event runs October 5–11. Whether you cycle, run, ruck, or walk, you can join us from anywhere!
Registration is just $30 (which goes to The Covering House).
Or, if you’d prefer, you can donate directly through [my fundraising page]. New this year: you can even pledge per mile!
My personal goal is 250 miles. (Last year I fell short after a mid-week concussion—yes, from headbutting a sidewalk—but I’m back at it this year!)

Thank you for supporting The Covering House and the incredible youth they serve. Your miles and your generosity truly change lives.
Gratefully,
Shane Russell
