And here are some ideas from those who've done it!
Virginia Bryant, a brave grandmother from North London, raised £400 by being sponsored to shave her head in the local pub.
Martin Godden from Kent organised a curry night for all his colleagues, friends and neighbours. He and a group of friends made all the food and got the drinks donated and then waited on their guests from home charging people £25 per head. He did it on two consecutive nights with 30 people each night raising £1,500.
John Antoniou from Hertfordshire organised a spinathon at his local gym and asked people to get sponsorship to take part. He also asked members to donate their £1 locker key deposit over a weekend raising £1,000.
Owen Jones from Hull dressed up as a giant cartoon cat and spent the weekend collecting at his local supermarket raising £400.
Jenny Harris from West Sussex organised 'The King and Barnes Ale Trail'. She challenged 10 teams of four who each raised £100 to visit as many of the 58 King and Barnes pubs as possible in 13 hours. They had to get a stamp from each pub and the day culminated in a party in the last pub. This event raised nearly £1,300.
Mike Power asked all his contacts to sponsor him a minimum of £10. In return they were entered into a raffle with over 50 great prizes including a TV and a cruise. Mike only printed 200 tickets, which meant that there was a one in four chance of winning – a great incentive!
