We’re now at 10 donors, 146 shares, 571 views, and $595 raised in 6 days, officially 19% of the $3,163 goal. Today alone brought in $175, the strongest single day of the campaign so far.
What the data actually shows is bigger than the numbers:
Campaigns that reach 20% in the first week are the ones that statistically finish strong.
We are sitting at 19% in just 6 days, right inside the momentum window.
This campaign is outperforming typical GoFundMe benchmarks. Most campaigns struggle to get shares, struggle to convert views, and struggle to get early donors.
This one is doing the opposite:
High share rate
High conversion rate
High trust per viewer
146 shares is elite‑level share velocity. Most campaigns never break 50.
People don’t share something 146 times unless they believe in the mission and the person behind it.
571 views paired with 146 shares means the story is resonating.
The share‑to‑view ratio is 25.5%, which is massive, most campaigns sit around 5–10%.
10 donors in 6 days means the campaign is averaging more than one donor per day, which is extremely strong for an individual athlete fundraiser.
$175 raised today confirms the sprint strategy is working exactly the way it should.
The social media "sprint"
Instagram: 45 story views: 1 donation from Tyler Clark
Facebook: 32 views: 1 donation from Jay Bird
Two platforms, two different audiences, two people who stepped up, proof that the $10 sprint is doing its job.
Every share, every $10, every message of support is pushing this dream toward the 2026 U.S. Open Qualifier.
Thank you for believing in me, believing in this journey, and helping carry it forward.
The $10 Sprint continues. If 20 people give $10, we hit the next milestone tonight.
