Getting Started with Fundraising

Great Cycle Challenge has one goal...to end childhood cancer!

Check out our fundraising tips below or use the links above to ensure you reach your fundraising goal to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to ensure your challenge will make an impact to change the lives of kids living with cancer.

Set a Fundraising Goal

Make sure you set a fundraising goal on your profile page. Your friends will be more likely to sponsor you if they know you have a personal goal...and they'll help you achieve it.

The higher your fundraising goal, the more support you'll receive from your friends, family and workmates.

And if you raise $500, you'll receive a FREE 2024 Great Cycle Challenge jersey!

Customise Your Profile Page

Make it personal and customise your profile page to make it your own.

Log in now to customise your profile page.

Ask Everyone

Be sure to ask everyone you know to support your efforts to fight kids' cancer! You never know who will sponsor you and donations can come from the most unlikely places.

Share your personal story and the goal you hope to achieve, and then let people make their own decision to sponsor you.

If you never ask for support, how will people know to support you? 

Send an Email

Send an email to your friends, family and work colleagues to tell them about your personal challenge to fight kids' cancer!

Not sure what to write? We have a range of pre-written email templates for you to use that already include your personal details.

Simply log in to your account to view our templates.

Get Social...on Facebook

Facebook is the perfect channel to communicate your goal, update your friends and ask for support.

Here are some simple ways to use Facebook for your challenge:

  • Customise your Facebook profile: Upload your very own personalised profile pic and timeline image to tell everyone about your challenge to fight kids' cancer! Simply log in and go to the 'downloads' section of your dashboard.
  • Post regular status updates: Post weekly updates through your Facebook page to communicate your personal progress to your friends and family.
  • Send a personal message: Send a personal message through Facebook to ask specific friends for their support - there's a good chance they would have already seen your status updates but it's nice to be personally asked!

Put Up a Poster

We have a range of posters for you to put up at your school, workplace, cycling club or local coffee shop etc.

Put up posters to tell everyone about your challenge to fight kids' cancer!
