FUNDRAISING CLOSES AT 4PM MONDAY 9TH SEPTEMBER 2013

• First and most importantly, register yourself and set up your online fundraising page.

• Spread the message – Email your fundraising page link to your family, friends, loved ones, workmates, network and supporters and ask them to sponsor your Run.

• People generally need three reminders before they take action and donate to your cause – keep up the reminders.

• Personalise your page with photos and personal memoirs. People want to be a part of your journey and watch the progress you’re making.
• Keep providing your contacts and supporters with updates!

• A simple thank you goes a long way in making people feel appreciated, especially the people who support your Run.

• Ask your employer for matching gifts.

• Rather than buying you gifts for special occasions, ask your family and friends to donate to your running efforts.
• Ask them to hold fundraisers on your behalf and spread the word about your cause.
• If your workmates, employer, social or sporting group supported you, why not present them with a certificate and message of thanks so they can share in your achievement? Download your personalised Parkinson’s NSW 2013 Unity Walk and Run Certificate of Appreciation here.
