Hi folks,

I setup my fundraisng page for my charity tis year, and for some reason regardess if I have my narrative split into several paragraphs, it still displays as one big paragragh.

Also, my donors are not showing up on the scroll on the right side. (I did check my settings and I have javascript enabled).

I've been trying to get a hold of tech support but no luck. Here is my pagefor reference -

How to start a 5K fundraiser for charity?

guest — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 22:22:17 GMT

Greetings Active Community,

First off, I'd like to say hello all, as I am a new member here on the Active Community Forum. I am a recurring visitor of the Active website and have been for roughly about a year, and am glad to say that this is one of the most resourceful, informative fitness/activity websites I have ever seen. With that said, I was wondering if the Active Community could help me with some resources, advice, or information. What myself and a few others are trying to do is set up an event/ fundraiser for a good cause (Love146. org that seeks to combat modern day slavery - human trafficking and child sex slavery exploitation). Generally, what our goal is to set up a 5K event/ fundraiser to raise money for this cause, but I have no experience setting anything like this up. I haven't the slightest clue of how to launch an event like this and would like to seek the help of the Active Community out there:

- Does anyone here have any experience with planning an event like this (5K run/walk for a charity)? Does anyone have any resources, tips, or guidance on how to set up a 5K run event for a particular charity?

Any help, guidance, or information would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Ed P.

This past January 11 marked the 25th anniversary of my dad’s death. He was young, handsome, creative, and vibrant. But all too soon at the age of 44, he was taken by leukemia, leaving behind his wife and four young children. In a perfect world, no family should ever have to go through that type of tragedy. And I’d like to do my small part to help make that a reality…

I have committed to run a half-marathon in his honor to help raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I ask you to please consider helping me reach my goal. Obviously, this cause is very near and dear to my heart. So please – for my dad, for my family and for any family who has been or will be affected by this horrible disease – lend a hand! It doesn't matter how much. Every little bit helps!

Raise funds with a Custom Edition of "R is for Running"

guest — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 20:51:04 GMT

R is for Running is "the lighthearted lexicon that spells out what it means to be a runner". Even the crustiest old runner will get a smile out of reading it (actually, 26 smiles), and it's an inexpensive and unique gift.

If you or your friends will be fundraising for charity, you might be interested in a custom edition of R is for Running that you can give out to donors or sell to earn money for your charity. I can create a custom edition with the name of your charity, your logo, and a message from you on the back cover. You can also add your own content inside the book! Custom editions can cost as little as $4 per copy in quantity, or I can set up an online store where the only up-front cost is a small setup fee and you can set your own price.

Right now, you can enter to win a free copy of my new book, "R is for Running" at:
