we were invited to go play in Singapore on tour in the orchestra i was in when I was 16 and we raised our plane fares ourselves (the folk inviting us arranged accomodation in a hostel for us all)

we had jumble sales, a quiz night, held a fundraising concert (all of which probably wont be an option for you if its just you yourself) - but we also did a sponsored cycle between us all. We hired out a hall and exercise bikes for a day and night and between us all we were constantly cycling the whole time, and clocked up enough miles to singapore. It was great fun and good because you werent limited by weather and suchlike as you might be with a run or a sky dive. the best part of the sponsored cycle by far though was going to my pals next door neighbours house door to door asking for sponsors. We knocked on the front door and after getting no reply, we started walking back down the driveway when the garage door opens and out walks Lorenzo Amoruso in his dressing gown, cos he couldnt find his front door keys!! haha - yasss

anyhoos, the sponsored cycle, the concert and quiz were by far the most lucrative of all of the events.

I'm in the process of trying to help my friends raise £5000 for Marie Curie by September in memory of our friend who died earlier this year - and it's hard work thinking of new/decent fundrasing ideas!

good luck!
