How to Participate
The first thing you need to do is to think of an activity you want to do. You can do it alone or form a team. Remember, it can be anything at all!
Once you have decided what you will do, the next step is to find people that will sponsor you. In order to do this you will have to create a Fundraising Page where people can make donations. You will find instructions how to do this below.
Take a video recording of your effort. If you have chosen something that lasts too long to video, you can also take a picture and include a caption explaining what you did and for how long. Post it to the "Online Do-What-You-Like-Athon Facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/1572104856287696/ page before May 7th, 2020. Make sure you include a link to your fundraising page, so that more people can donate to your cause.
