Aspire has also teamed up with MyCharity.ie to help you with your efforts. Fundraising is easy on mycharity.ie. 

You just go to the home page www.mycharity.ie and then click on “create a fundraising page”. You will then be brought through a short sequence of pages where you:

·         Choose your event date and name

·         Choose a charity (Aspire!)

·         Fill in details about your fundraising and how much money you want to raise.

And that's it! 

Now you just e-mail the link for your page to everyone that you think might like to sponsor you. It takes less then 5 minutes, and hey presto your fundraising page is live on www.mycharity.ie for all to see and donate to. Now you can just sit back and watch the sponsorship roll in. The money raised will be transferred straight through to the charity. You can choose to be notified by e-mail every time someone sponsors you or you can just check back on the site every so often to see how quickly your sponsorship amount is growing!

Alternatively, just click on the logo below to be taken to the Aspire page and just follow the instructions from there.

Aspire really needs your help. Due to insufficient government support, we are in desperate need of funding if we are to continue operating into the future. So even if you can’t take part in the above challenges, we would appreciate any donations, help with fundraising or anything you can think of that might generate extra funds.
