How do I raise money?

The first thing you need to do is to set up a fundraising page.

Once you have setup your page, then you need to tell everyone you know about it and share your story. Use social media channels, groups you may be part of and spread the word.

With the support of your charity, you'll easily be able to fit your fundraising around your training efforts, and you'll have so much fun along the way. On realbuzz.com you'll find hundreds of fundraising ideas that will help you get to that fundraising target in no time at all.
