How do I record my dog walks?
When you register, we'll send you a free challenge calendar you can use to keep track of your dog walks each day.
Where can I complete my dog walks?
You get to choose where you want to walk. Whether you clock up your kms during your usual daily activity with your dog(s), or only track set walks, it's up to you.
How far do I have to walk?
The challenge is for 50km, however, you can set your own goal based on you and your dog(s) needs and abilities. It’s all up to you if you break the goal down into daily, weekly or monthly goals. Use the free challenge calendar we will send you when you register to track your progress.
What if I can’t complete it?
We can assist you every step of the way to help you complete your Dog Walk for Cancer challenge. Reach out on our Facebook Group for some advice and top tips to help you reach your target.
If you aren’t able to complete the challenge, please don’t worry! Please let your sponsors know and send us a DM from the Facebook Group to let us know.
How do I collect donations?
Make sure you are registered to the 50km Dog Walk for Cancer challenge. If you are unsure, please click on this link and follow the steps https://www.doitforcancer.com.au/register/dog-walk-for-cancer-26.
Once you’re all set you can share your fundraising page to your network or opt to create a Facebook Fundraiser by clicking the blue button in your dashboard.
Facebook Fundraisers are one of the easiest ways to collect donations. All donations come directly to Cancer Council, so you don’t have to worry about admin or bank transfers. Fundraising finishes by the end of July, so there is still time after you complete your challenge to collect any final donations.

Why is my Facebook Fundraiser not matching my Fundraising Page?
Your Facebook Fundraiser is separate from your Fundraising page. It's another tool/resource to help you with your fundraising overall where Facebook will do all the hard work by promoting your fundraiser to all of your friends. Once people donate on Facebook this will then sync to your overall tally on your Fundraising page.
