I am afraid I won’t raise any money, what can I do?
Did you know people are more likely to give if someone else already has? Try making a small donation to yourself, to get the ball rolling.
Remember to share your progress to encourage donations. A selfie from your walk or a screenshot of your route can help show people you’re really doing the challenge and encourage them to give.
You could even ask close friends and family to share your JustGiving page on their social media, to encourage their friends to support you too.
How can I track my steps?
You can track your steps with any step-tracking app on your smartphone. We recommend Strava because your progress will show on your JustGiving – find out how here.
You can also use the health app on your phone, a Fitbit or a simple pedometer to track your daily steps.
Do I have to do 10,000 steps every day?
Your supporters are most willing to donate to something they know will be a challenge for you.
If 10,000 steps is not realistic, you can try doing fewer steps in the week and ‘top up’ at the weekend or set a lower number that still feels like a challenge.
If 10,000 steps is a walk in the park, try upping your target to something that will stretch you!
If you’re a wheelchair user, 10,000 steps equals around four miles. You can track distance with many fitness apps on the ‘wheelchair’ setting.
