• Share why you are participating in the challenge and why UP is important to you. Personal stories resonate with potential donors.
• Engage your network: Reach out to friends, family, colleagues, and acquaintances. Personal messages and emails are more effective than generic posts.
• Use social media to share your journey, progress, and fundraising updates.
• Thank your donors: Always thank your donors promptly and publicly (if they’re comfortable with that). Acknowledgment encourages future support.
• Keep donors updated: Regularly update your supporters on your training progress and fundraising milestones. Show appreciation and keep them engaged.

Good luck, and thank you.
