Race the Sun Fundraising Hub

Thank you very much for taking on Race the Sun for Action Medical Research! This is your one stop shop for all things fundraising, the place to access a range of different ideas to get you started and to request promotional resources for fundraising events.

The fundraising is as much of a commitment as the training for the event, so we really appreciate you taking on the challenge. We’re here to give you advice and support each step of the way and are very happy to chat through ideas, so please pop us an email to events@action.org.uk if we can help.
