- Do I have to use Facebook Fundraising or can I set-up a JustGiving page?
As the challenge is being run through Facebook we would prefer all participants to fundraise through the Facebook fundraising pages provided as it helps us to easily monitor and to minimise costs. However, if you prefer to use JustGiving, you can set up your JustGiving page using this link
- Is there a minimum fundraising amount?
For this challenge we have set a sponsorship target of £150 however we just ask that you set up a fundraising page and do your very best! Your fundraising will go towards St Ann’s Hospice Build it together appeal to help us reach our £2 million target.
- Can I be sponsored by someone who is not on Facebook?
If someone would like to donate to your challenge and they don’t have Facebook the best thing is to collect their donation offline and then donate it directly to your fundraiser yourself. We will also send out sponsorship forms, in case people prefer to sponsor you that way.
- Can I include my normal daily steps as part of my distance?
Yes! We are happy for you to make the challenge personal to yourself, so if it makes sense for you to include those steps, we are happy for you to do so.
- How should I track my kilometres?
It’s completely up to you! There are lots of apps and trackers available, or you could go for good old fashioned pen and paper, why not ask others in the Facebook group?
- I want to do more than 100 kilometres – can I still take part?
Of course! This challenge is your challenge, so if you want to increase the target, go for it! Every kilometre you complete will make a difference, the important thing is getting out and raising vital funds for St Ann’s Hospice.
- I’m not able to complete 100 kilometres – can I still take part?
Of course! This challenge is for everyone, and every kilometre you complete will make a difference, the important thing is getting out and raising vital funds for St Ann’s Hospice.
