Does it matter what online fundraising page I set up?

add remove

No it doesn't matter - we find most people either use Facebook or JustGiving.  With Facebook people can only donate who are on Facebook so if lots of your family and friends aren't on it, you might find JustGiving easier.

I've got more than one fundraising page on, does it matter?

It's ok to have more than one.  If you set one up by mistake you are able to delete them.  If you need any support doing this, email us at teamstroke@stroke.org.uk 

When will I get my t-shirt and tracker?

These are sent out after you have completed the registration form.  Please note it can take up to 10 working days for them to arrive.  

If it's been more than 10 working days pleae email us on teamstroke@stroke.org.uk so we can look into it for you.

Do I need to do all 74 miles myself?

add remove

No, this is the great thing about this challenge.  You can team up with as many people as you want to complete the challenge.  Every one of us is different so this challenge reflects that.

Is there a minimum fundraising amount?

add remove

No there isn't but of course we greatly appreciate anything you can fundraise.

How do I find my Facebook fundraiser?

My beanie hasn't arrived.

Beanies are sent out to anyone who has raised over £30.  There is a delay in the money going onto your page and us knowing about it.  Once we know, we will put the request for the beanie to come out to you.  This could take up to 10 working days.  
If you think yours should have arrived email us at teamstroke@stroke.org.uk so we can investigate

My medal hasn't arrived

We send out medals from the 10 April to anyone who has raised over £200.  We wait until this date to give everyone time to collect in their sponsorship.
