Online fundraising ideas for Macmillan

Hi everyone,
My wonderful mum (who's 250 miles away) is currently fundraising for Macmillan by doing car boot sales and selling old furniture and knickknacks from her house. She's raised £18 from selling bits of furniture, and I donated earlier. Naturally, I want to help her raise as much as she can for such a worthy cause.
I'm usually pretty busy, apart from at work, which takes up most of my time! I work 9-5 Mon-Fri in an office, but usually have free time at my desk to do things on the PC. This time could be put to much better use than browsing social media and these forums!
However, the forums were quite handy as I saw a post about a lady who wasn't happy with her wedding photographs, I thought "well, I could edit those for her and ask for a small donation to my mum's Macmillan fund."
So, that where my idea came from! I've set her an online fundraiser up so that she can gather funds that way, and raise more money for such a wonderful charity.
In essence, I was wondering how I could go about finding people who needed small favours such as these, and instead of being paid personally to do them, ask for a donation to her online fundraiser? Does anyone know of any websites? I've done a Google search but honestly have no idea what to type in to find anything.
Thanks everyone.
