How do I fundraise?
When you sign up to fundraise, you’ll receive emails that will guide you through the process, provide you with regular tips and give you templated messages that you can share.
The main ways to fundraise are:
- Be loud and proud: share your story with everyone on social media and through emails. Let everyone know why yoursquo;re supporting your charity of choice and what they mean to you.
- Ask your workplace to get involved by donating and helping to promote your page.
- Keep your networks updated on your progress, publicly thank those who have donated to you and keep everyone updated with your training.
- Set yourself an additional challenge. As if doing a Spartan Race isn’t enough, set yourself an extra challenge which you’ll only do if you hit a certain fundraising milestone. This could be: shaving your head, dying your hair or doing any kind of dare.
Will people donating receiving a tax deductible receipt?
Yes. Donors will automatically receive a receipt once they have made a donation to your page.
