It’s simple! You can take part in the challenge by heading outside for daily exercise, going for a dog walk around your local area, hitting the treadmill at the gym, or you could even get your 10,000 Steps a Day in by walking around you home and/or garden.

The challenge can be completed wherever you like and you can take part by yourself, or as part of a group with family, friends or colleagues – the choice is yours! 

Our 10,000 Steps a Day Challenge is FREE to get involved in. You will be sent your free t-shirt and step tracker when you have registered, set up your Facebook Fundraiser and received your first donation.

Once you have successfully registered, set up your Facebook Fundraiser and received your first donation, you will be eligible to receive your free Brain Tumour Research Emoji t-shirt.This will automatically be posted to you with your printed step tracker so you can keep track of your daily steps throughout the month. Remember, if you register under a different name to your Facebook name, please include BOTH in the sign-up form where indicated. Failure to do this will mean you will not receive your free t-shirt and printed step tracker in the post, because we won’t be able to match your Facebook Fundraiser to your registration form.

Once you have registered and set up your Facebook Fundraiser for Brain Tumour Research, you now need to get to work on achieving your first donation to trigger your free gift being sent out to you.

You can either get your Facebook Fundraiser started by donating yourself or you can ask a friend, family member or colleague to donate to your page too! Another way to kickstart your fundraising is to invite your friends and family to your Facebook Fundraiser page so they can donate and keep up to date with your progress throughout the challenge. Don’t forget to also share your Facebook Fundraiser on your personal Facebook page and other social channels to inspire other donations. 

Please use the below t-shirt sizing guide to help determine which size to order

T-shirt size measurements are approximate and could vary up or down by up to 2.5cm, a variance that is an accepted clothing industry standard. 

If you would like to purchase an additional t-shirt, please visit our eBay shop here.

We understand that lots of people will prefer to take on this challenge as a family / group and we have a range of adult’s and children’s t-shirts available to purchase via our eBay store.

To shop adult’s t-shirts click here : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165231674705

To shop children’s t-shirts click here :   https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152319127089

Once you have set up your Facebook Fundraiser, completed the sign-up form and received your first donation on your Facebook Fundraiser page, a free t-shirt and printed step tracker will be sent out to you.

Please allow up to 10 working days for your free t-shirt and tracker to arrive. This accounts for any potential delays in the postal system. Whilst waiting for your free gift to arrive, you can still get started with your challenge and raise vital funds to help us get closer to finding a cure for this devastating disease. Whilst you are waiting, you also have access to our digital fundraising pack which includes lots of useful tools and a printable step tracker too! You can find that here: https://bit.ly/10ks22fp

Due to the volume of amazing supporters taking part in this challenge, we are unable to change the size of your free t-shirt. We recommend if it is too big to layer clothes underneath. If it is too small and unwearable please email 10ksteps@braintumourresearch.org and we will see if we can assist. 

To qualify for the free t-shirt each person taking part needs to register under their own name, set up a Facebook Fundraiser and achieve their first donation. Once they have done this it will trigger the free t-shirt and step tracker to be sent to the person who registered and set up the Facebook Fundraiser for Brain Tumour Research.

We understand that some people may like to join up with others, form a team, register under one name and set up one Facebook Fundraiser for them all to use. In this instance, you will still only be able to receive one FREE t-shirt. However, you can buy additional t-shirts on eBay here :

Adults : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165231674705

Kids : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152319127089  with all profits being donated to Brain Tumour Research to help fund the fight against brain tumours. 

Yes, JustGiving Team Pages will allow you and your friends to create individual fundraising pages and then join them together to contribute to an overall total. This is great if you want to raise money separately whilst still contributing to a larger team goal. The page will list everyone’s individual page, as well as Brain Tumour Research so your friends, family, and colleagues know who you are raising money for, and the collective total you’ve raised together.

We understand that not everyone has a Facebook account or there will be those that wish to donate in cash and that’s no problem! You can still collect donations from those who wish to donate in a different way.

In your digital fundraising pack, which you can download here: https://www.braintumourresearch.org/fundraise/cycle-274-miles-in-august/fundraising-pack  you will have access to an offline donations form (sponsorship form). This is a great tool to carry with you to collect on the spot donations. Any offline donations will be added to your overall fundraising total at the end of your challenge and count towards reaching that £274 target to get your FREE special medal.

You can pay in those donations routinely or altogether using the link here: https://www.braintumourresearch.org/appeals/cycle-274-miles-paying-in-your-money

Please ensure your name and “Cycle 274 Miles in August” are always quoted as a reference so we can add these funds to your total.

Alternatively, for those who are happy to donate via card, but do not have a Facebook account, you can set up a Just Giving page here:  https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/Cycle274MilesinAugustChallenge2022

This link can also be shared via WhatsApp, text message and email. 

No, Facebook only shows donations collected on their platform on your Facebook Fundraiser. But don’t panic! The funds you have raised outside of Facebook will be attributed to you and your personal fundraising total.

To do this, when donating via the paying in page here https://www.braintumourresearch.org/appeals/cycle-274-miles-paying-in-your-money we require you and your donors to reference your name and the Cycle 274 Miles in August Challenge in the comments box so our finance team can allocate them correctly. If this is done, our finance team will be able to attribute your offline donations along with your Facebook Fundraiser to give you a combined final total at the end of your challenge. Don’t forget – if you raise £274 or more in donations (both via Facebook and offline) you will receive a FREE special medal in September.

You can pay in any offline donations that you have received for your Cycle 274 Miles in August Challenge here: https://www.braintumourresearch.org/appeals/cycle-274-miles-paying-in-your-money

Please ensure that you quote your full name in all correspondence so we can identify your donation and attribute it to you and your fundraising total.

If you have any cheques to pay in, please send us the cheque along with your full contact details (full name and salutation, address and post code, a contact phone number and email address) so we can send out a thank you email or letter.
