How can I share my challenge progress and encourage donations?

Share videos, pictures, and posts to your Facebook or personal fundraising page and on your social media pages. For friends and family who aren't on Facebook, be sure to email and WhatsApp too!

There are also resources available on our Fundraising Zone to help you raise more awareness and sponsorship for your challenge.

Some of my friends don't have Facebook. Can they donate?

add remove

Unfortunately you need to have a Facebook account to donate to a Facebook page. But you can ask people to donate to your personal fundraiser instead, which will show all of your donations in one place. If you’re not sure where to find it email us or contact us in messenger.

Do Facebook charge a fee?

add remove

Like many other fundraising platforms, Facebook do charge a small fee to use their service which allows fundraising challenges like this to be easily created and shared to support the fight against MND. Meta charge a 1.4% + GBP 0.30 processing fee. All donations are greatly appreciated and will go directly to MND Association.

Can I use JustGiving or a sponsor form instead of a Facebook fundraising page?

add remove

Sure! If you'd prefer to use another platform or good old fashioned sponsor forms, that's absolutely fine. You can download a sponsor form or set up a JustGiving page.

Can the money I raise go towards a Tribute Fund or Fightback Fund?

add remove

Yes, if you'd like the money you raise to be recorded in a loved ones tribute or fightback fund that's not a problem. Email fundraising@mndassociation.org with your details, the name of the Fund and a link to your fundraising page and the team will organise that for you.

I haven't received my winter technical tshirt yet.

add remove

We'll aim to send all tshirts within 10 days of registration. Please be patient with us as we're a small team. If you haven't received yours within 14 days please email fundraising@mndassociation.org.

My winter technical tshirt doesn't fit, could i request a new one?

add remove

I’m really sorry to hear your t-shirt doesn't fit. We encourage participants to check the size guide linked on the form before requesting a t-shirt, because unfortunately we are unable to send replacements due to postage costs. However, you are welcome to purchase a new technical t-shirt from our online shop.
Thank you so much for your support and understanding.

How much money do I have to raise?

add remove

There is no minimum sponsorship target to take part in the challenge. Every penny counts. The more money you can raise, the more support we can provide for people living with MND today. Find out more about how the money you raise makes a difference.

If you raise over £150, you can claim your special #TeamMND medal!

Where does my sponsorship money go?

add remove

All of the money donated on your Facebook fundraiser, personal fundraising page or JustGiving page will come straight to the MND Association which means you don't have to worry about transferring any money or handling any cash. Once we receive the funds we turn it into care and support for families affected by MND and fund vital research to better understand MND, develop treatments and one day find a cure.
