Hello. Not sure if this has been done before or not but I thought we could have a thread for people to link to when they are raising money for charity? I know it means A Lot to so many of us, and what better way to show it!
In August I am going on a very long bike ride and raising money for a refugee community centre in Athens. If anyone would like to donate the link is here:
I’m not so good at raising money - I’m terrible for asking people to sponsor me - but I do give up some of my time a couple of times a month to help look after the sheep that the council graze on it’s protected chalk grassland sites. Does that count?
It’s not really a money thing. If anything, I posted it partly as a “I might be a bit rubbish for doing charity stuff, but I’m doing my bit really”, but also as a “If you’ve got a bit of time, why not see if there’s any volunteering opportunities that suit you” because it needn’t necessarily be putting in the hours in an Oxfam shop, or working with a group of disadvantaged people.
Going to bump this as donations have slowed somewhat.
Thanks to all DiSers who’ve donated so far, I think you have outnumbered IRL friends in your donations (if I exclude the anonymous £100 donation) so cheers. Truly a GBOL x
Hello! Just giving this a bump. I’m doing two half marathons for Shelter in March. Currently recovering from spending all Xmas with some sort of flu type thing so I’m dreading these a little at the moment. Almost halfway to my target though - help me out? X
