Give these fundraising ideas a go
Tried and tested by other Race for Lifers:
- Did you know that people who link Fitbit or Strava to their Giving Page fundraise over two times more than those who don't? Connect your account today to keep others up to date on your progress after every training session.
- Ask your friends and family to sponsor you a set amount per mile e.g. £10 per mile
- Host a bake sale in your local community
- Build a playlist for your Race for Life and ask for a suggested donation per song request from your sponsors
- Host a workout or practice loop around the park for your friends and family. Bonus: it’s great for your training.
Ready, set, fundraise!
It's a movement, it's a family, it's a party – and it’s a huge chance to raise the money we need to power our biggest discoveries. That’s why we ask you to raise a minimum of £50 on top of your entrance fee. The donations from your supporters help save lives.
