1. Just signed up? Start telling people what you’re doing

Every three minutes, somebody in the UK is told they have dementia, it’s the biggest health and social care challenge we face. Alzheimer’s Society vow to help end the devastation caused by dementia, but they need our help. That’s why I’m taking on <event name> for Alzheimer’s Society and would be so super grateful if you’d kindly support me by making a donation on my page: <fundraising page>.

2. The countdown is on!

<Weeks/months until your event> today I’ll be taking on <event name>. I’ve got lots of training ahead of me, but your donations will make all the hard work worth it. I’m doing this for Alzheimer’s Society, the UK’s leading dementia research charity. If you’d like to sponsor me I’d be so incredibly grateful <fundraising page>.

3. Making that final push for sponsorship

Been meaning to donate to my fundraising page but not got round to it? Never fear, there’s still plenty of time! Pounds or pennies, it’ll all help me achieve my fundraising goal and ensure Alzheimer’s Society can be there for the thousands of people living with dementia in the UK. You can sponsor me here: <fundraising page>.

4. Thanking your donors (it’s only polite)!
