10. e) A few lines of text about why you are participating. If you are raising funds for a charity of your choice, we would appreciate it if you open your description with “Inspired by the remarkable Muriel Hunt – see murielsday.com“.
11.   f) Tick T&C’s as a Fundraiser.
12.   g) Add image/s – this can be done later or during the event.
13.   h) Add a YouTube video link – many of you will not have access to a YouTube account, but you can send videos to InvestMyCommunity who will host for them, creating a YouTube url which can be inserted into your own mini campaign.
14.   i) To Preview your page – Choose the red ‘My Account’ button at top of screen. From the Menu, select ‘My Campaigns’. Drag the campaign details to the right and an orange ‘View Project Page’ will show.
