Tens of thousands of pounds have been raised for the Smile4Wessex Appeal by people participating in all kinds of physical challenges such as running the London Marathon or the Great South Run; cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats; scaling the peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon (all in 24 hours!); or just taking a leisurely walk through the New Forest.
Others have found more ‘unusual’ ways of persuading people to put their hands in their pockets for the charity, such as the Worthing fireman who submitted himself to a full body wax hair removal, or the group of ladies who found a sponsored slim for the appeal to be just the incentive they needed to shed a few lbs in return for several hundred £s.
Many of these fundraising opportunities are based upon well established and organised events, some of which are run by the charity, and some by other organisations, but many are staged by individuals & groups themselves. If you’re thinking of participating in an event, or organising one yourself, the following three pages are well worth a read.
