Arrange your own event
In previous years, WDM supporters have run in the London Marathon and raced the London Triathlon to raise money for WDM. If that sounds a bit too energetic why not organise a charity dinner party, have a coffee morning, cake sale or hold a pub quiz?
Whatever you want to do, WDM can help you along the way with fundraising advice and tips about how to publicise your event.
