Ultra Marathon Fundraiser Challenge 2024

Author: Damien O’Looney

I’ve set myself a huge ultra marathon challenge for 2024: conquering three epic races to raise £10,000 for Cash for Kids and The Resolution Foundation. You can find out more about my journey on the Radio Forth Charity Champions website. Despite coverage in the Edinburgh Evening News and The Edinburgh Reporter, I still need your help to reach my ambitious £10,000 fundraising target.

Here’s how you can win and support a great cause!

Calling all sports teams and clubs (football, running, cycling, hockey, etc.)! I’m offering your club the chance to win £1,000 worth of custom kit from my company, Appin Sports. Kit your team out in style with anything from our teamwear range—jerseys, shorts, socks, jackets, tracksuits, quarter zips—the choice is yours! The prize is valid until 31st December 2025 so you have over 12 months to spent it.

To enter, it’s simple:

  1. Donate £25 via cashforkidsgive.co.uk and do NOT make your donation anonymous.
  2. After payment page LEAVE A MESSAGE with your Club Name and #AppinCash4Kids. (e.g Edinburgh FC #AppinCash4Kids). This lets me know your donation should be entered into the draw.
  3. Larger donations will be counted as multiple entries – £50 gives you two entries, £100 is four entries and so on.

We’ll pick a lucky winner on 7th November 2024 after my third and final ultra marathon of the year: a gruelling 92 km run from Glasgow to Edinburgh. Good luck, and thank you for your support for these worthy causes!
