   Failure to meet these deadlines may result in your place being cancelled. Please refer to your Terms and Conditions of entry.

2. Making a difference and fundraising tips

   The money you raise can make a real difference to people living with breast and other cancers.

   • £500 funds two support group days for those with secondary cancers.
   • £1,000 helps create treatments with fewer side effects and provides essential equipment to identify proteins that drive breast cancer growth, leading to more targeted treatments.

   To help you reach your fundraising goal, here are some tried-and-tested ideas:

   • Share your online page with friends and family. Make the most of your page with our  Manage Your Fundraising Page guide.
   • Plan a fundraiser—what do you love doing? Here are some great ideas:
   • Host a quiz or bingo night.
   • Hold a collection in a busy public space (Collection tubs available to hire).
   • Exchange your time for donations—walk a neighbour’s dog, wash cars, or offer a service.
   • Sell something—handmade items, pre-loved treasures at a car boot sale, on Facebook Marketplace, or eBay.
   • Give something up for sponsorship—chocolate, alcohol, cake, or your morning coffee. Can you go a month without it?
   • Who doesn’t love cake? A bake sale at work or school is always a winner!

   Make Donations Even Easier

   • Download the CharityGo app to take contactless donations—no card reader needed! A super easy way to collect donations straight to your fundraising page.
   • Use your QR code—download it from your page and stick it on collection tubs, posters, or anywhere people can donate.

3. Can I give any of my sponsor money to another charity?

   Because everybody taking part in Walk the Walk challenges is united in a single aim, all your fundraising must be sent to Walk the Walk. By not sending all your fundraising money to Walk the Walk, you may be committing an offence.

4. Can I use any of my fundraising to pay for my travel expenses to the event?

   NO. That is not permissible and is an offence.

5. Are you a Multi Challenger?

   Thank you for joining us on more than one challenge, please be aware that any money you raise over and above the minimum requirement for this challenge cannot be transferred to another year.
