Email Template #1: Ask for Support

Subject: I am trekking to restore sight to the blind - help me make a difference

Hi,

I have entered the Coastrek team challenge and will be trekking km on 1st March to raise funds to restore sight to those that are needlessly blind.

Right now, 4 out of 5 people who are blind in the developing world do not need to be.

It's hard to imagine that so many people in the world could actually see...

They just need our help.

And that is why I am raising funds for this amazing cause, so that these people get the treatment they so desperately need - and I would really appreciate your support.

Can you support me by sponsoring my trek?

Please help me give the gift of sight and join the fight to end avoidable blindness.

Simply click on the link below to sponsor my trek:

All funds raised will go towards supporting The Fred Hollows Foundation's sight-restoring work across the world.

Together, we can change lives.

Thanks for your support - it is truly appreciated.

Have a fantastic day!

 


Email Template #2: Humour Works

Subject: Sponsor me to get blisters and aching feet

Hi,

On the 1st March I have registered to walk an absurdly long way in the Coastrek team challenge to restore sight to the needlessly blind.

Think of me walking km as you enjoy your morning coffee.

Yes, I will be climbing hills, traversing cliff ledges, walking the wilderness, bashing through the bush and suffering in soft sand, all to join the fight to end avoidable blindness.

There will be blisters, chaffing, aching feet, exhaustion and we may lose a few team members along the way...

Not to mention the awkward silences when the team runs out of conversation topics - that might get awkward. : )

Why am I doing this? Because right now, 4 out of 5 people who are blind do not need to be.

They need our help.

I'll wear the lycra and endure the blisters, your part is easy...

Please sponsor me and support my trek to give the gift of sight to the needlessly blind.

Simply click on the link below to view my fundraising page and make a donation:

[INCLUDE YOUR PERSONAL PAGE LINK HERE]

It will only take a few minutes and a tax deductible receipt will be emailed to you right away!

Best of all, you'll be helping to make a big difference to restore sight through supporting the work of The Fred Hollows Foundation..

AND you can do it whilst avoiding spending your day walking for hours and hours...

Thanks for your support!

 

P.S. You can also your own personal message to my fundraising page [INCLUDE YOUR PERSONAL PAGE LINK HERE] when you donate, maybe you could give me some conversation topic suggestions for us to discuss on the trek?
