FAQs
What is the Walk in Her Name Step Challenge?
It’s a virtual step challenge where you complete 295,000 steps during your chosen month 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 a month, walk, run, dance or jump your steps 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?
However you like! You can walk, run, dance, climb stairs, or jump around the garden. Whatever works best for you.
If you complete 10,000 steps a day for one month, you’ll reach 295,000 steps. We have lots more ideas for you here. 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.
When completing your Walk in Her Name Step Challenge please consider and follow the government social distancing guidelines in your area.
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, but anything you can raise will make a huge difference. 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.
