Community Fundraising 
1 in 100 babies are born with a heart defect and so we challenge you to raise £100 before the year is out.
Will you dare the chop? Be star baker? Quit a bad habit or fall in love with a new one?
It’s completely up to you how you reach the £100 target, and you have until the end of the year to get there!
Things you could give up…
- Alcohol
- Take aways
- Chocolate
- Smoking
- Swearing
Get sponsored to…
- Run a marathon
- Brave a new hair style
- Climb a mountain
- Dance
- Stay silent!
…or something else!
- Bake 100 cakes & sell for £1 each
- Save £1 everyday for 100 days
- Make & sell friendship bracelets
- Ask 100 friends to donate £1 or 50 friends to donate £2 etc
I’m George and I’m 1 in 100!
“I’m George and I have had three open heart surgeries at the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit. My latest surgery was in June 2020, during the coronavirus pandemic.
By taking part in the 1 in 100 challenge, you are helping heart warriors just like me. Thank you.”
Challenge yourself to take up a new hobby or finally quit a that habit.
Do it before the year is out and do it for the 1 in 100 babies born with CHD in our region. What will do?
Keep it simple!
Go back to basics and save a little bit each day. If you save £1 every day from 1 January until 10 April, you will have your £100!
Open a JustGiving page and get saving…
What would you do with £100?
At CHSF £100 could pay for…
- Three nights accommodation at hospital for parents while their child is having surgery
AND - A Katie Bear, medal and certificate for a heart warrior after open heart surgery
I’m Minnie and I’m 1 in 100!
