How It Works

Just follow these five simple steps to a healthier life for you and for kids.  

Step 1

Start by setting a realistic goal. You can start any time, provided you’ve reached your target by June 30th. If you’re setting a kilometre goal, and you have a medical condition or haven’t exercised recently, seek medical advice first. If you’re focusing on weight loss, it is reasonable to aim for a loss of around half a kilogram a week. It is important that you maintain a balanced and nutritious diet. Consult your doctor if you have special dietary needs.

Step 2

Click on the link at the bottom of this page to get started. You’ll then be led through a simple process to set up your fundraising page. You’ll need to choose if you want to participate as an individual, as part of a team, or if you want to create a team. Why not get your work colleagues to join you, or your family?

Step 3

Record your kilometre or kilogram goal in your blog on your fundraising page, and set a fundraising target.

Step 4

Email your family, friends and work colleagues to sponsor you. Your employer might even agree to match whatever you raise. TIP: Encourage your friends to sponsor you straight away. The quicker you do this, the earlier you’ll receive your free pedometer (which you get sent automatically once you’ve raised $150). You can then start using the pedometer to help you track your k’s.

Step 5

Keep working towards your target, and don’t forget to log back in to this site on a regular basis to update your blog (so your sponsors can see how you’re going).

So, what are you waiting for?
