Take on a mission that matters

Here's how to plan your mission step-by-step:

Step one

Choose your mission and decide whether you want to embark on a one-off or a series of challenges. Supporters have climbed mountain ranges, run 100km in a month and even conquered Mt Kilimanjaro.

Step two

Sign up to get your fundraising pack. You'll get an instant digital guide in your inbox plus an optional pack in the post.

Step three

Time to make it official! Decide when and where you would like to start and end your mission and set up your JustGiving page ready for donations.

Step four

Use your free fundraising pack to help you prepare, plan and promote your mission.

Step five

Start your mission! Every pound you raise during your challenge takes us closer to beating blood cancer.

The impact of your donations

  • £100 could help keep our online Forum running for a day, giving people a safe space to connect with others.
  • Could fund a Clinical Trials Support Nurse to help find a clinical trial for three people with blood cancer.
  • Could fund a month of lab experiments to help researchers find better treatments for a specific blood cancer.

Tips from our fundraisers

“Ten years ago I was diagnosed with advanced Mantle Cell Lymphoma and had intensive treatment including a stem cell transplant. Recently, I completed my challenge to climb all 282 Munro hills in Scotland, and I raised over £3,000 for Blood Cancer UK. My advice to anyone fundraising is to have an interesting story to tell and a big contacts list. Don’t be afraid to ask for sponsorship."

Supporter, Colin

Frequently Asked Questions - Missions that Matter

No, there’s no minimum. Every pound you raise makes a real difference and we’re genuinely grateful for your support. Fundraising targets are there to inspire you, not to add pressure, so even if you don’t reach your goal, your efforts still help fund life changing research and support for people affected by blood cancer.

It's helpful to let your network know when you've set an event date and this is a great time to share your fundraising page too. Don't be afraid to share your page with others more than once and consider key dates such as pay day!

Small actions can have a big impact, for example - updating your online fundraising page with new photos or quick progress updates can spark fresh donations. Sharing your page more than once,  especially as you get closer to your event encourages people to donate. You'll receive lots more tips once you have signed up for your fundraising pack!

A simple post about why you’re fundraising, with a photo and the link to your page, is a great place to start. Share a few updates as you go, because most people need a reminder before they donate. Quick moments on stories or reels can also help you reach more people

We will send you your collectable medal in the post once the funds you have raised are paid in. This is usually around 4 weeks after your event.

Our Supporter Relations Team is here for you. If you have any questions or need a hand with anything, you can call them for free on 0808 2080 888 or email [email protected] and they’ll be happy to help.
