Fundraising
We’d love for you to fundraise for us as part of this challenge. After you’ve signed up, let our fundraising team know, and we can help support you in setting up your JustGiving page so that your friends, family and colleagues can support you with your challenge.
How do we support members of Team Launchpad?
We will support you every step of the way – we offer tips on how to prepare and lots of fundraising materials, and you’ll get an exclusive Launchpad technical t-shirt and goodies for taking part.
How will your fundraising help Launchpad?
Day in, day out, Launchpad helps people, couples, and families in Reading who are homeless or at risk of losing their homes – and only with your kind support can we continue this vital work. The cost of living crisis continues to leave homeless people extremely vulnerable, and we already see many more in a housing crisis. Every penny you raise when you take on the Gut Buster helps us prevent homelessness in our town.
How do I sign up?
Sign up on the RaceNation website.
Then contact our Fundraising team to let us know you’ve signed up, and we will do everything we can to support you!
