ideas please
ok, some of you may or may not know that i am entered into this years Enduro Africa in October, rather than trying to beg money from the forum (although when i get really desperate that may change!) i need some sensible ideas to raise sponsership. i have so far put £900 of my own cash in plus £600 from my company. I am writing to about 20 sub - contracting companies to see if they will sponser me, as well as have some charity boxes in a friends cafe. we are doing a few dress down type events at work. on june 21st i am doing john o'groats to lands end in a day on my tiger 1050 as a fund raising event for enduro as well as macmillan and once i hit the £4999 required the balance will be given to macmillan. does anyone else have any ideas? - oh, and forget anything to do with heights!!!!!

It's not really worth selling things like DVDs & CDs on ebay - unless it's a job lot as you lose too much for such a small return.

Even now I know that I'll be maxing out my credit card & I may sell the bike in russia then buy a new one in the USA to save on transport costs. |

Funnily enough, I was on the original Enduro India (in 1999 I think) which was the inspiration for Simon (who runs Enduro Africa) quitting his job and embarking on this enterprise!
In raising the ?2.5K for that trip, I used a mix of methods:
