With New Year’s resolutions still fresh in everyone’s minds, how about challenging yourself to achieve a goal and raise funds for charity while you’re at it?
The New Year provides the perfect opportunity for aspirations of self-improvement and a willingness to do something you’ve always wanted but never had the necessary time or resources to achieve.
Why not go big and aim to compete in the Midmar Mile, Dusi Canoe Marathon or Comrades Marathon? Or try something a little more easily attainable, such as losing weight or accepting a dare?
A fantastic way to spur yourself on is by starting up your own fundraising campaign for whatever it is you’d like to achieve and then donate the funds to a charity of your choice.
It’s easy to start your own fundraising campaign – simply visit www.doit4charity.co.za and then ask your friends and family to sponsor you.
– like competing in the Dusi Canoe Marathon
