I completed my first ironman distance this year (Roth in Germany) - and am very proud of that.
I'd like to do another event next year (probably Nice), and would like to do it as a charity fund raiser.
I'm familiar with the justgiving website, which is great. Does anyone have experience of fundraising that can give me a few pointers on how to mobilize/optimize a campaign or share their experiences?
Thanks!

Well done and good luck.
Be sure to leave plenty of time and be prepared to send some reminders - also make any emails as personal as possible, I know that I'm always inclined to ignore mass mailings even from friends.
Also - the most important thing: leave plenty of time if you have a fixed fundraising target!
(Your just giving site looks great, David).
Does anyone out there have a business background in charitable fundraising? Or can anyone recommend a good book on the topic?
