You don't have to have a place in an official event to fundraise for BRACE. Think of a challenge that suits you and complete it in your own time - get creative with it! Here are some ideas:

• Do 10,000 steps a day for a month
• Run 100km in a month
• Host a Cuppa for a Cure
• Request a BRACE collection tin

When you fundraise for BRACE you'll receive:

• A free BRACE fundraising vest/t-shirt
• Regular support from our fundraising team to help you hit your target
• Exclusive discounts on running gear
• Access to a WhatsApp group with other fundraisers on Team BRACE

If you'd like to find an official challenge to take part in, have a browse on our website or with our partners Realbuzz and Run for Charity. If you need any support finding an event and signing up, get in touch at [email protected].

Ready to start fundraising for vital dementia research? Set up your fundraising page here on JustGiving. Here are some of our top fundraising tips to help you get started:

• Tell your story – writing a story helps everyone understand why you’re doing this challenge. You could raise 65% more if you do!
• Add photos and personalise your page – fundraisers with pictures or videos raise 13% more per photo.
• Share it regularly – on FB, IG, Linked In, Whatsapp etc. – make sure to keep reminding people. They often want to donate but people forget (and you’re never as annoying as you think you are).
• Share your page around payday!
• Connect to Strava or Fitbit if you use those – could raise 40% more
• Donate to your own page to get started – people that do this raise 42% more!
• Say thank you to donors! – 20% donations come in after the event, so make sure to follow up and thank people & share medal photos after the day!
