Not that I need to, but I thought I would use this run to raise money for a local charity. So apart from getting people to give you cash how do you get the sponsorship?
There are various organisations on the interweb that provide banking options for this. The first I tried, although not taking any % commission, didn't recognise my charity and I would have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get things set up.
So I tried another organisation. They take a fee against business transactions but take a very cut down % against charities. So I applied to them. They need blood and paperwork signed by my dead grandmother to accept that it's a charity and not a general business. So the hunting and hoop jumping goes on.
On the positive side, I still have 8 months before the race so time to get things sorted out.
