If this isn't just (as someone else said) a jolly with your mates...

Set yourself up a fundraising page at http://www.justgiving.com

It's free and you can link to it from any publicity you do or blogs
you publish.

However, it's designed as charity fundraising, so you should make it
clear that the first 3K will be covering your trip expenses and that
you plan to raise additional funds for charity. Perhaps say you want
to match the 3K expenses with 3K to charity.

Then do the rounds of all your local businesses, everyone you know etc etc.
