You can share directly to all the main social media networks, including Facebook, Instagram Twitter and LinkedIn, or if email or WhatsApp works best for you, use that instead.
Maybe mix it up across all platforms as you share with the world what you're doing, how you're getting on with preparing and why people should get involved and support you. You can also download paper sponsorship forms as part of our fundraising pack here.
The more you make your story connect with people the more they will be willing to support you.

I know my limits a bit more because I’ve been able to push them with that support.
