GET YOUR FUNDRAISING OFF TO THE BEST START
TELL YOUR STORY
Make sure you update your fundraising page with your personal story and keep the updates coming! Adding a photo or update when you log your distance is a great way to encourage donations to your page.
SET A TARGET
We’ll send a free CAFOD tote bag to everyone who raises £200, and that pays for a place on a two-week course: growing food, adapting to extreme weather and new ways of earning a living!
GO TEAM
Create a team and recruit some extra walkers! Whether you’re walking in person with your family, or virtually with friends from your parish, you can all walk together and raise as much sponsorship as possible!
STRIKE A POSE
We want to see you in action in your purple laces! Don’t forget to share your pictures using #BigLentWalk and tag @CAFOD or @SCIAF – and share the images below too!
