FAQs
What is the Walk in Her Name Step Challenge?
It’s a virtual step challenge where you complete 295,000 steps during your March 2022 and raise money to fund our next generation of ovarian cancer research. That's one step for every woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer globally each year. Throughout the month of March, take on 295,000 steps on your own or create a team and record your progress on your online fundraising page. Get sponsored for your achievements, raise funds for the next generation of ovarian cancer research and save lives.
How can I complete my 295,000 steps?
If you complete 10,000 steps a day for one month, you’ll reach 295,000 steps. You can complete the 295,000 steps as a personal challenge, create a team and compete to see who achieves the most steps or combine your team’s efforts to collectively reach 295,000 steps.
Or you can complete your steps however and whenever you want to during the month. It’s your challenge so take things at your own pace, have a rest day when you need to.
How much do I need to raise?
We’re asking you to aim to raise £295 to fund the next generation of ovarian cancer research and help us make ovarian cancer a survivable disease. If you raise £10 a day during the month, you'll reach your target. We're here to support you with your fundraising and will be providing tips throughout your challenge. You can also visit the Tips & Resources page for ideas or contact us on 020 7380 1730 or email fundraising@ovarian.org.uk. We always love to hear from you.
I Will Survive
We’re funding the next generation of research so these girls and their millions of contemporaries will face much better prospects than their mothers, aunts and grandmothers do today. But research takes time. With more support, we can accelerate the rate of progress for women today and for the next generation.
