Real-Life Example: Ironman Triathlon
The Challenge
Sarah, a dedicated amateur athlete, wanted to compete in her first Ironman triathlon. She needed to raise £3,000 for coaching, specialized equipment, nutrition planning, and travel expenses to the event.
The GoodGrid Solution
She created a 100×100 grid with blocks at £1 each, dividing her grid into three themed sections representing the swim, bike, and run portions of the race. Supporters could choose which part of her journey to sponsor and leave training tips or encouraging messages.
The Results
Sarah not only raised £3,500 (exceeding her goal), but she also built a supportive community that followed her training updates. She printed her supporters' names on her race day shirt and shared race day photos with everyone who sponsored her journey. The visual nature of the grid made her fundraising a compelling story that attracted support beyond her immediate circle.
"GoodGrid gave me a way to make my athletic journey a community experience. Instead of just asking for money, I was able to share my training process, collect advice, and show my progress. When I crossed that Ironman finish line, it felt like hundreds of people crossed it with me."
