We know its an achievement worth the effort. But not alone do you have to train for your run, you also have to think about how you are going to fundraise for your run! And you don’t want to have to put in a marathon of fundraising as well as a marathon of running! So we have a handy new fundraising idea for you
Why not add another string to you fundraising box, or should I say, another lace to your fundraising shoe, with GreenYourGoods. Its just like mycharity.ie in that you can create your own fundraising page, and email or Facebook it out to your friends, but instead of asking for donations of money, you only have to ask for donations of peoples old phones, iPods, games consoles or laptops! Its fundraising through recycling.
Your friends and supporters come to your page, (like this one, http://genbukan-ireland.gyg.ie), click Donate to get a live price for their old gadget, and get a Freepost address to send it to. They can leave a personal message for you and when we get the item we credit you with its value!
Its simple, good for the environment and most importantly it doesn’t cost anyone anything, other than the occasional nag to tell them to pop their phones and gadgets into the post!
So to creat a page come to http://www.gyg.ie/fundraising.html, click ‘Start Fundraiser’, and in 5 minutes you’ll have a page link you can include on all you emails, Facebook posts, tweets and more.
Remember the more people who know about it the better, and the more you earn the easy way, the less you’ll have to hustle the hard way…triathlons and marathons are hard enough already!
But you’re on your own when it comes to the 6am hill running!
