1. Tell your story

If you have a connection to pancreatic cancer or a personal reason for supporting Pancreatic Cancer UK, make sure to share your story with friends and family by updating the description on your page. By sharing your story, supporters will be more likely to donate generously to your fundraiser.

2. Ask generous friends and family to donate first

Once your page is set up, ask a generous friend or family member to make the first donation. We find that people tend to match existing donations on the page.

3. Tell people why they should care 

Too little has changed in pancreatic cancer, together lets raise awareness. Share these in your fundraising description and post on your fundraiser.

• More than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months
• Pancreatic cancer is the 11^th most common cancer
• Pancreatic cancer is the 5^th bigger cancer killer
• Pancreatic cancer has the lowest survival of all common cancers

4. Thank your friends and family publicly  

Say thank you to your family and friends on your timeline, and tag them into the post. Then your Facebook connections will see it too, and could be inspired to donate.

5. Share posts, photos and videos on your fundraiser

Keep your family and friends up to date, record short clips and let them know how important your fundraiser is to you and why.
