Fundraising Update - May

It's been a while since I gave a proper update on my fundraising and given I've just completed my fourth event I think this post is due.

To date I have raised almost £1,400 towards my £3,000 target. I've had a few donations by text and cheque but the total hasn't moved dramatically since the marathon. This is entirely my fault. I've been on a bit of a come down since the marathon and even more so since Tough Mudder, feeling as though my last two challenges are easier, which of course they're not, they're just different, so I haven't been promoting my self or the cause quite so often. This needs to change!

I've vowed to promote myself through facebook and twitter more in the final couple of weeks and ask for retweets where I can. I've had articles in the local papers but not a lot ever comes from these. I've yet to go door-to-door in my neighbourhood so I shall be doing that and I have a collection day booked at the local supermarket which I hope will be as effective as they have been in the past. A couple more bake sales at work won't go amiss either.

I could have perhaps gotten a few more supermarket slots but they're hard to come by these days, and I'd have loved to have run a quiz night with a raffle/auction but I didn't get organised early enough which I regret. There's still the possibility of "topping up " my total by running one of these after the events, when I potentially have more time to organise it but unfortunately I don't expect I'll hit the £3,000 mark.

If anyone has some suggestions for fundraising or can promote me a little on the social networks I'd be very grateful. You'll be helping to raise vital funds; £3,000 runs the support line for an entire year! They're a very small concern and any amount makes a big difference to this charity.

Thank you, as ever for all your support.
