To do this, you need to tell your story!

You'll be surprised how much you can raise by running a great online fundraising campaign to share your story and progress.

Let the local media know what you're doing and why you're doing it by sending out a press release.

Add the details of your challenge or event to our Press Release Template and send it to local media outlets around two weeks before your challenge or event.
