Fundraising for the London Marathon

mini

Hello,

I have a wild idea of aiming to run the London marathon, either 2007 or 2008 I don't really mind! What concerns me is the level of fundraising, I don't know that many people & ca't see how I'd make a grand amount. My question is, could I ask for people to donate stuff for me to sell via ebay/car boots etc to raise money or does the money need to be focused on the event? Would people think I was being cheeky asking for their stuff? I know loads of people who take a zillion new clothes to charity shops etc.

Thoughts welcome, as long as they are nice ones!

Thanks Mini

Hi Mini

you can fundraise on behalf of the charity in pretty much whatever way you can think of. So run events, do car boots yourself even, have a race night, shave your head whatever! And add it to your total for the marathon. It's getting harder and harder to raise money for this kind of thing, and I'd say best advice would be to contact the charity, and they should be able to give you lots of advice and tips, and cover all the legal side too.
