BUILD YOUR OWN PERSONAL FUN RUN WEB PAGE

TASTE has joined forces with justgiving to make online donations simple. It also gives you the opportunity to build a simple web page that you can use to collect donations for this years fun run. It is really very easy - use the Build Your Own Page link at the foot of this page and follow the on-screen direction to create a web page for your fun run or ramble.

It's always worth having some words of explanation. You may wish to use some of the following:

TASTE is a Sheffield-based charity, active in Nigeria, supporting disadvantaged communities. Much of their work surrounds the supply of clean water - drilling boreholes and delivering drinking water by tanker. During 2010, they have a target of drilling 40 boreholes to help provide clean drinking water and I'm joining their fun run / ramble to help them raise funds.

Once the page is complete, there is one really important step that you mustn't overlook if you want to help us make a difference: send the link to someone who you know will support you and ask them to be generous! This is really important - the first donation sets the standard for the rest to follow; and asking people to be the first makes them nervous. So chase a parent, spouse, sibling .... or someone who really cares and get them to trail blaze your page.

Once you have your first (hopefully generous donation) then send the link to all your friends and then go and start training!
