We can't thank our fundraisers enough so anything that you raise will help to support people and families in Ireland and help prevent more deaths from cardiovascular disease.

How do I raise funds?

After setting your fundraising goal, don’t be afraid to ask. A lot of people aren’t comfortable asking their friends, family and colleagues for money. But with 60,000 new attendacnes each year, most people will have a personal connection to Letterkenny University Hospital. Don’t hesitate to tell them your connection and ask for a donation – any amount will do. And remember, the worst thing they can do is say no.

Tell your story to get more attention

• Follow up: Remind your friends who have committed to donate and keep them updated on your progress. Make sure you thank everyone for their donation and send polite reminders to those people after the event who pledged sponsorship.

What if I don't raise anything?
