Doreen raised funds by making face masks andĀ asking family and friends for a small donation.
Method of fundraising
Making of face masksWhy did you decide to fundraise?
My daughter, Julie died from MND at just 59. It was only five months from diagnosis to her passing. Nobody should have to watch their child go through that.
How did you raise the money?
I had been making face masks for health workers during the Covid pandemic because of PPE shortages. As things got better in the healthcare sector and people wanted to start going out again, I carried on making masks for family and friends, asking for small donations.
Fundraising wisdom:
If an opportunity presents itself, don't be afraid to use it to raise money, no matter how small the amount. Every little helps!
