Do I need to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship?

add remove

The Banham Marsden March is a charity walk, so we ask all our walkers to raise a minimum of £150 for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. The money you raise will help us make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer.

We'll be sending plenty of tips along the way to help you reach your target! So don’t forget to add our email address, charity@royalmarsden.org, to your contacts.

Can I take part but not raise money?

add remove

Unfortunately not. The Banham Marsden March is a charity event, and we would like everyone taking part to try their best to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

What’s the best way to start my fundraising?

add remove

The best way to get sponsored is to use the fundraising page that was created when you registered for the event. It’s the easiest way let your friends and family know how they can support you.

The link to your fundraising page will have been sent to you in an email from The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

If someone else signed you up for the event you will need to set up a login to access your fundraising page. You should have received an email from us with a link to login to your page.

We kindly ask that you do not reactivate any fundraising pages from previous years as we won’t be notified that your page has been reactivated and your sponsorship will not be accounted for.
