How do I write a compelling story for my fundraising page?

### Start with why You should share why *you* chose to join Race for Impact. What motivated you to

Your story is what turns your page link into a reason to give. Keep it short, honest and in your own words.

Start with why

Say why you signed up for HYROX with Race for Impact, and why you wanted your training to count for more. For example: "I've always loved pushing my limits, but this time I wanted my training to mean something more."

Make it personal

Explain what drew you to your cause area. It might be a personal experience, or it might fit your values. Being authentic matters more than writing perfectly. A photo of you training or racing helps people connect with your story.

Introduce the cause

Your fundraising supports the fund for the cause area you chose. Each fund backs a portfolio of top-performing organisations recommended by independent evaluators. Which charities does my fundraising support? lists the organisations each fund currently supports, and our cause areas page has more detail.

Make it tangible

State your goal, and show donors what their support helps make possible. Which charities does my fundraising support? includes estimates for each fund and a link to each fund's deep dive. For more facts about your cause, log in and see "What you're racing for" in our fundraising guides.

Invite action

Finish with a clear, warm ask. For example: "If you can, will you chip in to help me reach my goal before race day?"

Reuse your story

Your story works beyond your page. Use it in your messages and posts, and pair it with a Photo Lab image: see How do I use Photo Lab to share my fundraising?
