Fundraising
Thank you for taking on this challenge in aid of your chosen charity! Upon registration, you will be automatically redirected to JustGiving to set up your fundraising page, where you can safely and easily receive donations from friends, family and colleagues. Be sure to add a personal blurb about why you’re taking part and make sure everyone knows just what a huge challenge you are taking on!
There are also lots of things you can do outside of online fundraising to generate income for your cause; here are just a few ideas:
London themed quiz night with friends/family
Bake sale at work
Donations in lieu of presents if you have a birthday between now and October!

Top Tips for your Fundraising Page
• Add photos to your sponsor page of you in training so your donors can see you are earning your sponsorship!
• Edit your page with updates and news to encourage people to donate more than once.
• Try different approaches when writing to your contacts; friends may enjoy a friendly chatty approach, and business contacts may be impressed by the mention of the charity and the work you are supporting.
• Promote your online page in your email signature, LinkedIn, work newsletter or blog and social media
