To take part in the challenge, join the Facebook group to meet your fellow challengers, fill in the registration form and activate your Facebook fundraiser. You can then expect your t-shirt in the post and you'll be set to go on 1 April!

I don't have Facebook; can I still take part?

Absolutely! Simply set up your JustGiving page and email our team at fundraising@macmillan.org.uk to organise getting your t-shirt.

How can I get friends and family involved?

Your friends and family will love to see your progress throughout the challenge and will look forward to seeing how well you’re doing. Keep them updated with Facebook posts and pictures showing how far you have come. You can also ask them to take part themselves by sharing the registration link on the previous page.

Can I complete the 100 push ups at my own pace during the month of the challenge?

Definitely. You can split the push ups in the way that suits you best – whether that’s 5, 10, 50 or 100. The important thing is that you’re giving your best to support people living with cancer.

Can I start the challenge late or early?

We will be encouraging everyone to start and finish the challenge during November. However, if you are joining the challenge later or you have lost some time, you can continue into December.

How can I keep track of the number of push ups I am doing throughout the month?

You’ll receive a daily tracker in the post and in your digital fundraising pack which you can use to mark the number of push ups you’ve completed each day. You can also log your push ups digitally in your Macmillan Cancer Support fundraiser, which we’ll email to you once you’ve registered.

Do I need to provide evidence to the charity that I have done the challenge?

No, however we do love to see your photos so make sure to share them on our Facebook group or tag us @MacmillanCancer.

What level of fitness do I need to have?

A reasonable level of fitness is required to complete this challenge, but it should be accessible to most. That said, you should go at your own pace that’s comfortable for you, so please seek the advice of your GP if you have any concerns. It is very important to maintain the right form when doing push ups, so we strongly encourage you to research this before and during the challenge. We will provide a variety of resources in our Facebook group. The New York Times article on how to master the push-up might be helpful to get you started.

Can I take part if I'm under 18?

Thank you for wanting to support us. As you are under 18 we need your parent or guardian to get in touch with us. They can call us on 0300 1000 200 (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm). If you have already registered in your name we will need to follow these steps: Remove you from our Facebook group as this is for over 18s only Cancel your registration If you have created a fundraiser, please go to your fundraising page on Facebook, click ‘edit’ and ‘end fundraiser’.

How long will my free t-shirt take to arrive?

Once you’ve registered, please allow around 2 weeks for your t-shirt to arrive.

What do I do if my t-shirt hasn’t arrived after two weeks?

Please DM Macmillan on social media and the support team will investigate this for you and order a new one if necessary.

How much of the donations go directly to Macmillan?

100% of the donations from your Facebook Donate or JustGiving page will come directly to Macmillan.

Can we fundraise as a group?

Yes. If you would like to fundraise as a group, then we encourage all participants register individually to make getting your t-shirts quick and easy. However, if you’re a larger group and would like support, please speak to our friendly team by emailing fundraising@macmillan.org.uk or messaging us on Facebook.

Is there a minimum fundraising target?

There is no minimum fundraising amount, but we are asking everyone taking part in the challenge to aim for £150 to fund our vital services for people living with cancer.
