Make a self-donation. If you’re able to, get the ball rolling by making the first donation yourself. Seeing a donation on your page can inspire others to get donate too.

Personalise your fundraising page. Add a photo and add a blog post to explain why you’re taking on the challenge and why supporting prostate cancer research matters to you.

Share your page widely. Post about your challenge on social media, send your page to friends, family and colleagues, and don’t be afraid to remind people throughout the month. People are often happy to support – they just need a gentle nudge!

Share your progress. Post photos, videos and updates from your walks. Supporters who regularly share updates often raise more because people enjoy following their journey.
