Well, we tried our best, but came up a little short. Congratulations to Stockholm for winning the Tokyo Fundraiser Cup. Chicago took an early lead in the contest, and battled Zurich for the majority of the two months long contest. Many cities around the world decided to hold fundraising events during the month of December. Despite taking the lead back due to the proceeds from the Season's Beatings alleycat, Chicago lost the contest to Stockhlm by a mere $100.00 right at the last minute.
You can't really be bitter when you look at the big picture, though. The contest raised over $10,600.00, which will help the Tokyo Bicycle Messenger Association re-pay the debt that they incurred by hosting the 2009 Cycle Messenger World Championship. Two Stockholm messengers will be flying to the 2010 CMWC in Guatemala as a result of that city winning the Fundraiser Cup. I guess we will see them down there, and can congratulate them in person.
