Yes, a Facebook fundraiser must be created in order to qualify for the challenge t-shirt. As a non-profit organization, we rely on donations to continue funding life-saving research for patients. Remember, there is no minimum donation target, so any donation received once you create your fundraiser is much appreciated. We are very grateful for every donation received!

You can still participate in the challenge by walking or running at least 108 miles in September. You can track your miles here. When the challenge is over, we will let everyone know how to submit their final miles to us.

If you would like to receive the challenge t-shirt, you must create a Facebook fundraiser. If you completed the t-shirt form, but did not activate your Facebook fundraiser at that time, you can still create a Facebook fundraiser using this link: https://givp.nl/register/OWj99gaD. Once your fundraiser is created, please email the team at [email protected] with your fundraiser link and we will get a t-shirt mailed out to you. Once you create your Facebook fundraiser, you can easily locate it here. Please allow 2-3 weeks from the time that you emailed us to receive your t-shirt in the mail. Thank you!

You can start tracking your miles on the tracker starting September 1st, but you can start your Facebook fundraiser right away. Once the challenge is over, we will send everyone instructions on how to submit your total miles to us.

To help track your daily miles and steps, you can use your watch (Fitbit, etc.) or your phone by downloading a free app. You can also reference this article to help calculate your steps while running or walking.

Starting September 1st, we encourage everyone to track ALL miles/steps daily during the month. Since 108 miles in 30 days is no easy feat, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to finish the challenge. If you exceed 108 miles, keep walking and share your progress with the group!

Facebook’s automatic default is two weeks. You can edit your fundraiser any time before it closes, but you won’t be able to change the date once it ends. If your fundraiser has already ended, we encourage you to start a new one and continue fundraising through the end of the challenge (September 30th). You can include a note on your Facebook wall letting your friends and family know how much money you already raised during your first fundraiser if you wish!

If using a Computer/laptop, click “More” then “Edit.” If using a mobile phone, Click “Edit” on your fundraiser and set it to September 30th.

A Facebook fundraiser for PCF is the same as a fundraiser for this challenge. Just ensure your end date is set to September 30th.

Due to the volume of amazing supporters taking part in this challenge and the long delays with the postal service, we are unable to change t-shirt sizes. T-shirts are limited to two per household, while supplies last.  Shipping to U.S. only.

To enjoy the full experience of the virtual challenge, and to share your progress with the other participants, we suggest participating through Facebook (you can join for free at Facebook.com); however, if you would like to participate off Facebook, you may also download the mile tracker for the challenge at PCF.org/pcam2023/108miles and submit your miles at the end of the challenge. If you would also like to support the challenge with a donation, you can make one here. Thank you.

If you have a friend/family member that would like to make a donation to your fundraiser off of Facebook, here are a few ways:
