It's easy to set up a fundraiser on Facebook. Simply:
- Visit Facebook
- Select The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity as your chosen charity
- Choose what you would like to set as your fundraising target
- Decide when you would like your fundraiser to end (it will start as soon as you complete these steps)
- Click next where you’ll be asked to give your fundraiser a title – don’t worry if you don’t have any ideas, Facebook will give you some suggestions!
- You’ll be asked to write a short explanation of why you are fundraising for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Facebook will suggest some text, but it’s nice to add your own reasons
- You will be asked to select a photo that you’d like to use as your cover photo on your fundraising page– there will be one with our branding on for you to use
You will now have set up your Facebook fundraiser, so all that’s left to do is share it with your friends and family.
Once your fundraiser is over, you don’t need to do anything, The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity will receive the money you have raised directly from Facebook.

Debbie's story
Debbie was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma after feeling increasingly tired and unwell. ‘I lost a lot of weight, and went from being an energetic and ambitious career woman to being almost unable to get out of bed,’ she says.
She had chemotherapy at The Royal Marsden and was eventually given the all-clear. When she married partner Dominic, Debbie decided to use her wedding day to show her gratitude to the hospital. ‘The Royal Marsden gave me my life back, so we asked guests to donate to the charity instead of buying wedding gifts,’ she says.
The newlyweds also gifted their flowers to the hospital for patients and visitors to enjoy.
