Wiggle Cornwall Tor 2012

  • About

    With nearly 1,000 riders last year, the Wiggle Cornwall Tor is becoming one of the most popular sportive challenges in the UK.

    It's one of the most spectacular and challenging rides you can experience while enjoying some of Europe's most stunning coastal scenery. For 2012 they've got a new large capacity HQ in the parklands of National Trust Lanhydrock. There's lots to do there for all the family too.

  • Entering the event

    If you want to take part in this event and still be part of the Unstoppables team, here’s how you can:

    1. Get yourself signed up on the event website

    2. Let us know you’re entered and that you’d like to fundraise for us
    We’ll send you a fundraising pack including sponsor forms, a t-shirt, and a guide to all the ways we can support your training and fundraising

  • Raise money

    A great way to boost your fundraising if you're doing a sponsored event is to raise money online.

    Setting up an online giving page with JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving is a great way to raise money, enabling people to sponsor you really easily. All you need to do is visit the site, select Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research as your charity and then create your page. You can then personalise it with photos and messages and send the link to everyone you know.

    Use social networking websites

    A great way to increase awareness of your event is to add details to your social networking site; be it Facebook, Twitter or MySpace. It's even possible now to link these sites directly to your online giving page, making it even simpler for people to donate. Another way to inspire people, and raise awareness, is to blog about how your preparation is going. If people see the amount of time you're committing, and why you're doing your event, then they'll be more likely to dig deep!

    Email your family and friends

    Target your most generous supporters first. People tend to match the amounts already listed on the page.

    Be persistent

    Try re-sending the link to your page one week before the event to get some last minute sponsors. Then send it one more time once you've done the event - it's never too late!

    Raise money while you shop

    If you shop online, you can raise money for us simply by signing up with easyfundraising. Visit your favourite online retailers through this site and they will donate a percentage of your purchase to us at no extra cost to you!
