Enhance your fundraising by sharing your story

Which race have you targeted this summer and which charity will you be running for?

Share your story

People will be much more interested in your fundraising if they know your story – especially if you’re asking people other than friends or family to sponsor you. So make sure you go into detail about what you’re doing, and why you've chosen your particular charity, both on your fundraising page and in any letters or emails you send out.

Here are some questions to get you started:

Ø       Why did you choose this charity?

Ø       What event or challenge have you chosen to do?

Ø       What will your fundraising mean to your charity?

Ø       What do you hope to gain from the experience?
