Setting up your fundraising page with us is simple.
Use this blog as a guide to help you, with step-by-step instructions. After this, your profile will be ready to go!
Get signed in
In the top menu bar, find the ‘teams’ icon. Click on it, and a drop-down will appear. At the bottom, there will be the option ‘Cyclist Login’. Hover over this, and a sidebar will appear where you will need to select the ride you have signed up for.
You will then be sent to the rider login page (John O’Groats to Land’s End, North Coast 500, Lon Lan Cymru, Royal Chilterns Way). Firstly, you will need to fill in your email and order number. (You can find your order number in the acceptance email we sent to you!) Once you sign in, your dashboard will appear. Click the ‘view fundraising page’ button to access your fundraising profile.
Follow these steps to set up your profile:
1. Set up wizard
If you haven’t already, sign up to your chosen ride on our website. When you initially signed up or first log in to your account, you’ll be greeted with a set up wizard to walk you through the process of creating your Enthuse profile. You can do this using a Facebook account if you wish, whereby it’ll use the basic personal information found on your account to create your fundraising profile. You can also use an email address, and you can add in your information manually. Such as name, address, contact details and password.
2. Goal
Now you will be asked what your fundraising goal is. The fundraising minimum for your chosen ride will already be in the box, however we encourage you to set a stretch goal! The more you raise, the greater the impact you will have on the MS community! Your goal will be visible on your profile.
3. Photo
Add a picture to your profile. This will help make it more personal. You can use one from your facebook account or choose one from your photos on the device you are using.
4. Contact
Let us know how we should contact you. We recommend allowing us to contact you by email, so you receive fundraising information, tips and ideas!
5. Shareable URL
You are now ready to start fundraising! This is your personal web address that will send those who click it to your fundraising page. You can personalise this link, so you can make it shorter and more memorable. Copy and paste this link to share it in text messages, social media posts and stories. Check out your emails on ideas on how to share this with your friends and family!
Now you’ve set up your profile, it should look like this…
Your Story
Your story is automatically filled in with some information about the ride, but it’s best to add your own personal touch. To do this, you need to click the orange ‘edit story’ button around the middle of the page. Here, you can add the how and why you are fundraising. This can also include images and videos!
Link to Strava!
If you scroll down on your page you can see links that will enable you to link your profile to your Strava account and a place to post updates on your training journey.
Most Importantly…
Near the bottom of the page you can write fundraising updates. To encourage donors it is important to keep them up to date on your story and efforts. Really highlight the challenge you are taking on and how they are making an impact by supporting you!
Now your profile is set up…
