between us we raised well over the target amount. It was a great success but I don’t think I’ll be
doing anything like that again. Once was enough!
B Lawyer
I ran a triathlon and managed to get over 50 people to sponsor me. I had to train for months and it
was really hard work but well worth it. I actually enjoyed the training more than the final event
because on the day the weather was terrible. In the months running up to the event I followed a
very strict regime and it felt good to be working towards such a specific goal. I would often get up
at 5 o’clock in the morning so I could train before going to work. Knowing that I was going to be
able to give a large donation to charity made me even more determined to do it. It wasn’t
compulsory to get sponsorship and giving money to charity wasn’t my main motivation when I first
signed up to do it but I wanted to make the most of the opportunity and all my friends and family
were really supportive and wanted to help and give money. It was such a positive experience I’m
going to do it again next year.
C Environmental consultant
I cycled from L.A. to Quito last spring. All my family thought I was mad but I love cycling and I
knew it would be an amazing way to see lots of really interesting places that most people never see.
I managed to raise quite a bit of money for charity through sponsorship although that wasn't my
main objective. I turned 30 in March and I really wanted to be doing something totally different
rather than just sitting at my desk in the office. I wanted it to be different and something I could
look back on when I am older and feel proud of. It is something I’ll be able to tell my grandchildren
about and the fact that I was able to do something to help those less well off than me at the same
time, well that made it even better.
D Theatre manager
When I was a child I took part in a lot of sponsored walks. Each year my school would organise the
walks and although it wasn’t compulsory my friends and I would always take part. It was fun. Each
walk was about 15 km long so it took quite a long time but it was a nice way to spend a day. The
first year I did it I was only 11 years old and my father came with us to keep an eye on us but once
we were older we went by ourselves; there were about 8 or 9 of us that all walked together. We
managed to get quite a bit of money between us; in fact it became our challenge to raise more
money than the year before, which we always achieved, so there was a great sense of satisfaction.
