Your entry fee only contributes towards the organisational costs (printing, promotion, safety cover etc) of our Walk The Wye event.
We ask that all participants raise sponsorship money in support of breast cancer research.
Monmouth Rotary Club has registered with GOFUNDME to enable Walk The Wye entrants and supporters to make ONLINE donations. GOFUNDME works in a similar way to JUST GIVING and other donation websites, but takes less of your donation in administration costs.
We can increase the amount that you receive in sponsorship by 25% by claiming GIFT AID from HMRC, at no cost to yourself, or the people who sponsor you, provided that they are UK income tax payers.
To enable us to claim the GIFT AID, please tick the box on the Online page, or enter the first name, surname, and home address, details of eligible sponsors, on the hard copy sponsorship form. Tick the “GIFT AID” box

You will be asked to create a story. We suggest the following text but please personalise it:
Do you want to join me in making a difference? I am raising money in aid of the breast cancer research team at Velindre, Cardiff. I am taking part in the WALK THE WYE sponsored walk event on Sunday 15th May, which is organised by the Rotary Club of Monmouth. Every donation will help.
Thank you very much in advance for your contribution. It’s a cause that means so much to me.
Then circulate and share to your friends
If you do not want to register a sponsorship page
You can still make a donation in support of the breast cancer research team at Velindre.
You can also ask your friends to donate to the Rotary Club of Monmouth Trust Fund through GOFUNDME by copying this link https://gofund.me/c7a46c68 into your social media post.
You can click HERE to download detailed instructions about how to register and set up a page.
Alternatively
We will be sending a hard copy sponsorship form to every entrant.
There is no minimum sponsorship target for each participant, but if every walker raises even a small amount of sponsorship, it will add up to a very significant sum for breast cancer research.
Having collected your sponsorship post the form to “Walk The Wye” Secretary, Pete Walters, 1, Beech Road, Monmouth NP25 5EJ, with your total sponsorship money or pay the money in at your bank. If you would like an extra sponsorship form, please telephone Pete on 01600 773257.
HOW TO PAY IN THE SPONSORSHIP MONEY THAT YOU COLLECT
Your sponsorship can be paid via bank transfer. The “Walk The Wye” bank account details are:
Sort Code 30 95 71
Account Number 13419568
Please put your walker number in as reference
If you prefer, you may hand your sponsorship in at Registration on the day, along with your Sponsorship Form.
Please make all cheques payable to Monmouth Rotary Club
