Hi Everyone,
I have entered the ballot for FLM but I am not confident of getting a place. It has always been my dream to run in the London Marathon. Does anyone know what the minium level of sponsorhip is for a charity place? Sorry if this has been asked before.

between £750 and £2500
depending on charity
Do you know which chairties require the least amount?
I always run for a kidney charity-so its not that relevant to me
phab seemed to be fairly low
is best though to run for a charity you really believe in-can be quite hard to motivate yourself to raise the money otherwise
I,m running NYC for help the hospices. they dont stipulate a minimum amount but the more you raise the more they will give you of your stake money back. I dont know if this applies to the FLM as its in this country, they organise a package including flights, hotel, etc for NY. Could be worth giving them a call, I have the number if you are interested.
Hi Lynne,
That would be great. Could you email me the details? I am not being mean when I ask for the cheapest. It is just that I want to guarantee I can reach it! I have almost reached £300 for my charity for the GNR but £1500+ sounds a lot to live up to.
You are not being mean at all, believe me, fundraising is harder work than the training. I've spent loads of time doing raffles, car boot sales, race night and bbq, etc. Have you set up a justgiving web page, that can help and its so easy even i can do it. Just go to www.justgiving.com and it gives you all the details. that way you can raise money without having to leave the house.
contact details for help the hospices is

good luck
even with a bllot place you must raise some money
One word of caution on charidee places (apart from getting slagged off on here for asking who's the lowest, cos you will!) is that if you're running for one you might find you feel obliged to run - I ran this year after 8 weeks of virtually no running due to shin splints and am only just now getting back to running - I felt had to run cos people had donated - las time I run on a charidee place - ballot or club place for me from now on, so I can defer if I'm injured.
If you apply for a charity place now-as i am, then you pledge to raising £400/500 even if you eventually get a ballot place
Some don't stipulate an amount but expect you to reach your own target.
But truly you have to select a charity that you believe in.
thats just what kidney research UK said
very true blisters
Sure there's nothing they can do to enforce it (i fact pretty sure they couldn't enforce the minimum on a GB place legally, although some ask for the £250 it costs them up front.
