How it works
Follow these simple steps and you’ll be on your way to raising money for vital research in no time!
1. Decide what you are going to quit.
Say choco bye-bye: if you give up your £1 bar of chocolate each day, you’ll raise £30 at the end of your challenge
Cut out the caffeine: if you cut out your £3 latte each day, you’ll raise £90 at the end of your challenge
Bin the booze: if you say no more £5 bottles of wine on a weekend (that’s Friday, Saturday and Sunday) for 4 weeks you’ll raise £60
2. Set up your online fundraising page or Facebook fundraising page
Set yourself a target and share it with your friends and ask them to donate
3. Keep an eye on your inbox
Look out for our emails which will give you helpful tips and motivation
