SIGN UP & FUNDRAISING OPTIONS:
1. Charity Sponsorship – you pay a small registration fee, do lots of fundraising and we cover the cost of your event place!
2. Mixed Funding – pay half of the event place cost yourself, fundraise a bit less and we pay the balance of the event place cost.
3. Self Fund – you pay the full cost of the event place - fundraise whatever you want, with no set target or deadline, and there’s no cost at all to the charity!
N.B – If Combat Stress is paying towards the cost of your place, you will need to have raised 50% of your sponsorship target 6 weeks before the event to confirm your place. We have loads of fundraising tips and support to help you smash your target so please get in contact. The remaining 50% can be sent in up to four weeks after you’ve completed the challenge.
