Your Own Charity Page

In the midst of our latest research project we came across a website we'd like to share with you.

Everyday Hero allows you to build your own personal fundraising page to support your favourite charity or cause. We haven't tried it ourselves yet, but it's worth a look. Let us know if it lives up to your expectations.
