Ask for sponsorhip on the forum from people you don't know?
Probably, but they'll just ignore you if they're offended/not interested.
I don't think you've got anything to lose, and if people are supportive of your charity, they'll stand to gain.
I'm sure Dom@Kinesis will sort something for you 😉
oh cutting WW 😉
Doing the Tour of Britain 175Km charity ride for Prostate cancer - Just got around to finally registering and collecting sponsorhip.

I know no one knows me but I thought if anyone is interested click the link 🙂 Just felt it is a bit cheeky - Anyway the worm is out the hat 😉
It isn't cheeky. What is, is when no one sponsors you, is to come on and moan and berate the forum members for not sponsoring you. Seen that happen a few times.
If your doing a 5k run then yes its cheeky, if you're doing something big, like daca-Ironman or biking round the world, then if you don't ask you dont get.......
Edit: sorry i was to slow..... 🙁
Ooops - Its not either of those 🙁
It is cheeky but dont worry about it. I will not sponsor you and wont feel bad about it. Some may sponsor you and thats good.
I dont have a problem declining sponsorship but some people will. I admire people who do really big things for sponshorship, but the 'sponsor me Im going to walk 5k' really need to wake up and make a bigger effort.
Mail me, Foxy. 😉
No worries Trimix - I don't expect anyone to sponsor me but cheeky by name cheeky by nature 🙂 Just asked my boss face to face 🙂
Edit: Simon YGM 🙂
My rule is not to sponsor people for things they (or I) would enjoy doing. So I wouldn't sponsor a bike ride because I think you'd be having too much fun 😉
Pleasure / pain with the added "do a lot for charity mate" style rob 😉
done
I ask an don't care about asking 🙂

Thanks very much to epicyclo and Simon @ Loco tunning - very kind of you 🙂
Oh WOW and Jef (Wachowchow) - cheers very much guys
RR - you got funds 🙂
Cheeky? Not really. A good cause is a good cause. Just post up shots of the ride so we believe you did it.
LOL - I will - doing it with a few friends 🙂 I'll get my mates/wife to take a piccy 🙂
cheers foxyrider - very decent of you
my pleasure 🙂 Need all the money they can get 🙂 less for the tax man as well 🙂
It's worth asking, but don't expect much.
Much like asking work colleges, despite the fact they know you're doing something very worthwhile, they tend to be most stingy. As I found out trying to raise money for my recent London to Paris ride for Action Medical Research.
I certainly don't [b]expect[/b] any from people I don't know, but your right some at work are prob the least likely - but it would also be much easier for me just to pay my £40 for the ride and not raise any money 😉
That's a fair way to Paris Steve - In one go? surely not?
Just like to thanks all the guys and gals on here that have sponsored a stranger 🙂
