Walk 100 Miles in August Challenge

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

Absolutely! Simply set up your JustGiving page and we will send you your t-shirt. 

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.

Definitely. You can split the miles up in the way that suits you best. The important thing is that you’re giving your best to support people living with cancer. 

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

You’ll receive a tracker in the post and in your digital fundraising pack which you can use to mark the number of miles you’ve completed each day.  Alongside this, you can log your miles digitally in your Macmillan Cancer Support fundraiser, which we’ll email to you once you’ve registered.  You can also use digital apps such as Strava and join our Team Macmillan group to track your miles.

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

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.

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’.

Once you registered, please allow around 2 weeks for your t-shirt to arrive. 

Please DM Macmillan on social media and the support team will investigate this for you and order a new one if necessary. For more information, please refer to our Terms and Conditions.

For donations made in Great British Pounds (GBP), the payment processing fee on Facebook is 1.4% + 20p. The rest of your donation goes straight to Macmillan. When you donate, Facebook asks if you’d like to cover these fees. If you choose to do so, 100% of your donation will go to Macmillan. 97% of the money raised on any JustGiving page goes straight to Macmillan. A 1.9% + 30p card processing fee is applied to donations made in GBP to cover card and money transfer charges set by banks and card companies. 1% of the donation is applied to support a portion of JustGiving’s operating costs.

Yes. If you would like to fundraise as a group, then we encourage all participants to have their own registration to make getting your t-shirts quick and easy. When you register you will automatically be set up with an individual fundraising page. We recommend you close additional pages and share just one of your fundraising pages as a group.

There is no minimum fundraising amount, but we are asking everyone taking part in the challenge to aim for £160 to fund our vital services for people living with cancer.
