HOW TO FUNDRAISE.
Self-Funded – this means that you personally cover the cost of the Trek yourself and you pay the tour operator directly yourself. All fundraising is done separately and MS Ireland will be very grateful of any donation.
Mixed-Funded – this means that you will fundraise the cost of your trek and we ask that you fundraise €2,500 on top of this.
To sign up you will pay a €399 deposit to the tour operator and then follow their payment schedule before departure whilst fundraising for MS Ireland. We ask that you are transparent with your supporters that some of the funds you raise will go towards the costs of the Trek.
You will be dealing directly with the tour operator regarding the payment of your trek.
The total amount for this Trek before additional fundraising is €3,999 (Including Deposit).
