1. Do's and Don'ts

   Can I fundraise for another at the MoonWalk?

   No, by registering for the MoonWalk you have agreed to raise funds for Walk the Walk only. We can achieve so much more by uniting together against cancer, and the charity then grants funds to where we know it can make a real difference.

   It is illegal to donate money raised for the MoonWalk to another charity.

   Do I have to have raised all my fundraising before the event?

   No, but the sooner you start the more you can hope to raise. It helps us if we can receive your sponsorship within 8 weeks of completing your challenge, but if you find it is taking longer please don’t worry about sending what you can now and the rest later – we will never turn money away.

   How can I pay in cash and cheque sponsorship?

   It is best to pay any cash money you do raise, straight onto your fundraising page as soon as you receive it, but please be aware you cannot gift aid it.

   If it is a cheque, please send it to our Woking office with your name and address written on the back of the cheque. Cheques do go out of date so please send them to us when you receive them.

   In either event, we would appreciate you sending us your sponsor form with the full details of your sponsors filled in so that we are able to claim Gift Aid which adds another 25p in the £ to your fundraising provided your sponsor is a UK taxpayer!

   Can I have a paper sponsor form?

   You can download a sponsor form here.

2. How much fundraising do I have to raise?

   200 - We ask that everyone who enters The MoonWalk commits to raising a minimum of £200.

   £200.00 is a very achievable amount of money to raise and can make a real difference to the lives of people living with breast and other cancers.

   Raising awareness by taking part in the MoonWalk, and raising precious funds are both really important at this time and we thank you for all your support!

   Here are just a few ways to help you reach that magical number!

   • Share your online page with friends and family. Make the most of it by following our handy hints.
   • Exchange your time for donations e.g. walking your neighbour’s dog, washing cars.
   • Make something that you can sell, or sell your once loved things at a car boot sale or on Ebay.
   • Give something up for sponsorship! Go without your favourite treats for a month. Chocolate, alcohol, cake? Can you manage it?
   • And finally… who doesn’t love cake? Have a bake sale at work or school!

   If you’re not sure how to go about fundraising, we are always available to help you just email us here or call on 01483 741430.

3. I have yet to collect all my fundraising for a previous MoonWalk. Can I still enter?

   If you have previously taken part in The MoonWalk London but have not yet sent in all, or any of your fundraising, we would encourage you to send in your sponsorship as soon as possible. All our fundraising is important, and more so than ever before, so we will be getting in touch with anyone where our records show we have not received any fundraising.

   However, in the meantime, you can enter the Virtual MoonWalk 2024 and we will be in touch.

4. Can you send me a Virtual London sponsor form?

   Everyone who takes part in our challenges receives a sponsor form. You can download one here. 

5. Adding an offline donation?

   If you have received money offline you can pay it onto your page directly, adding your donors name. Making sure not to add gift aid as the donation was not from you, you can then send a sponsor form so we can claim the gift aid matching up to your donation on your page. Alternatively, when you are logged into your page you will be able to see the option ‘+ an offline donation’, where you can add the amount and the name of your donor, you will then need to send the donation to us making sure it is payable to Walk the Walk Worldwide to our office address Walk the Walk 6 Genesis Business Park, Albert Drive, Woking, GU21 5RW.
