right as some of you may know i'm planning to go on an expedition to chile in south america summer 2008.

i had my final meeting today, deposit paid, and it's been finalised. if i can raise the money i'm definately going! which i'm already hyped up about, i really can't wait.

but the next big problem, i have to raise £3495 in 15 months :]

i will be getting a job, but obviously that isn't going to pay for it all, and i'd like to have a little money for myself.

so i'm looking for you guys to come up with ways i could raise money?

there are about 15 of us going all together. i can do small group fundraising, big groups, or on my own.

all ideas with a bit of thought put into are highly appriciated :] thanks in advanced.

I wouldn't go for too big a company, though you could if you want... it's just that your letter would probably get ignored . I don't really know who though, isn't there a relatively large but local company you could try?
