Aim: Adding an update to your fundraiser project page will send an automated e-mail notification to all who donated to that project, enabling your project to generate and maintain momentum as your fundraising appeals bear fruit.
To add an update, log in to your fundraising account and view your public project page as your donors would see it (My Projects > click on the name of the project).
To post an update, click on "Post update" below the Gallery section. Create a title for your update and add content in the form of text and an image. Your update could include info on:
- how your fundraising is taking shape
- the status of your training, if you're preparing for a race
- the charity you're raising funds for
- your travels currently, where your fundraising has taken you
- anything you'd like to share!
When done, click on "Save update".
To edit or delete an update, click on "Updates" (when logged in), then click on the pencil icon next to the relevant update. Make the changes and click on "Save update", or click on the trash can icon to delete the update.
Adding a Strava activity
If you'd like to share a Strava activity to prove how hard you are training, simply copy your Strava activity URL and paste it in the Strava activity field when adding an update. This will then display a clickable map of your activity, linking back to the Strava website.
To obtain your Strava activity URL, log in to your Strava account and visit Training > My Activities. Click on the name of an activity, then copy the URL (e.g. https://www.strava.com/activities/12345678910 or https://strava.app.link/qHGkAruMSXa) in the browser navigation bar.
