How does My WALK IT work?
Take part in My WALK IT by choosing a 5km, 10km, half marathon or marathon distance to walk in and around your local area, garden or even on your treadmill, throughout the month of June. Once you have registered, a JustGiving fundraising page will be created for you automatically so you can start fundraising straight away! Choose a day or several days in June to complete your challenge and plan your local route in advance. Don’t forget to track your distance by linking your JustGiving page to your STRAVA app so your supporters can see you have completed your challenge! Please raise as much as possible for Crohn’s & Colitis UK. Those who raise £100 or more will receive a medal (please allow up to 10 working days after you have raised this amount to receive this).
Do I have to complete my chosen distance in one go?
