Need help with blog/fundraising

I'm confused. Are you looking to raise funds for yourself or for charity?  If you want to raise funds for a charity decide on a charity first. Choose something people are familiar with and contact the charity to see how people can make donations.

Here is my husband's American Diabetes Association Page.  He set it up for donations for his Tour de Cures.  A lot of the organizations you can fundraise for have pages that you can set up through them for free.  

It might give you some ideas of what to say, etc.  Good Luck! 

When I raised money for charity through triathlon, I picked the charity (Give kids the World) because its somewhere I volunteered and cared about.  Everyone will have different charities that mean something to them, finding one will be very personal.

In terms of raising funds I contacted the chairty and using the site firstgiving.com was the method recommended to direct the contributions.

Good luck!

My sister is spending her summer in Tanzania volunteering with Support for International Change. While there, she is running an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign in rural villages.

Here is her fundraising page: http://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/nataliekratz/natalierunstotanzania and her blog: http://natalierunstotanzania.blogspot.com/

For every $10 someone donates, she runs 1 mile for them. She'll do whatever the person wants her to for them. Someone gave her $10 to run a mile backwards. Someone else offered $50 and requested that she run 5 mile listening to Jimmy Buffett Miles and wearing hawaiian flower leis! My other siblings and I pooled our money to give her $262 to run the Boston Marathon "for us".

It's a good way to get people who donate involved and make them feel like part of the process.

If you use her idea for inspiration, I only ask that you throw a few dollars her way
