Yes. These are the moves that work best, in the order we'd make them. For every tool mentioned here, see What tools does Race for Impact give me to help my fundraising?

Start with a donation to your own page, whatever amount suits you. It shows your commitment, and a page with a donation on it is more likely to inspire others.

A direct message on WhatsApp, by email or in person makes people feel seen, and it's harder to ignore than a group post. Use your own voice, say why you're racing and ask clearly: "Will you chip in to help me reach my goal?" Some people need a second ask. Ready-to-edit messages are at raceforimpact.com/en/fundraising-messaging.

Set yourself a number: message three people who you know will back you today.

Think in groups: workmates, your gym crew, old teammates, the family chat. Share your page with each group with a short note on why you're racing. At work, check whether your employer matches donations (see How can my employer match my donations through its workplace giving platform?), and put a QR code poster up at your gym or office (see How do I get and share a QR code for my fundraising page?).

People respond to progress. Celebrate milestones with a Photo Lab image that shows your live total (see How do I use Photo Lab to share my fundraising?), and post training updates with your link.

Try a short challenge: "If I raise another 100 by Friday, I'll do 50 burpees for my donors."

Donations often arrive in a flurry in the final week, so keep sharing right up to race day. Your page stays open after the race too: see When is the deadline to meet my fundraising commitment?

Your story is what turns your link into a reason to give. See How do I write a compelling story for my fundraising page?
