FAQ
Have you got questions about fundraising for this event? Check out these frequently asked questions:
How do I set up a team?
You can start a team (or join a friend's team) during your fundraising page set up, or you can add it later.
If your friend or colleague has already set up a team, ask them to send you a link to join their team.

- Log on. Click on the login icon at the top right of your screen.
- Click Dashboard.
- Click Create a Team.
- Enter your team name and fundraising target.
- Edit the default blog text.
- Click Create Team.
You can edit your team page in much the same way as you edit your own fundraising page. Set your own background image and add blog posts and photos as you progress.

Once you've set up your online fundraising page it's easy to make it your own by adding your own personal touch.

Here are the basic steps to personalise your online fundraising page on a desktop computer.
