We are hoping to raise £45,000 from your sponsorship this year so we can continue providing our services to people living with life limiting illnesses, and their families.
We suggest you raise a minimum of £30 per adult for this event, this could fund a bereavement counselling session for one child.
And as a huge thank for every adult that raises or donates £30 and every child who raises or donates £20 you'll receive an exclusive Walk for Myton T-shirt for the big day!
We know £45,000 is a lot of money but with your support we are confident that we can achieve it!
Setting up a JustGiving page is one of the most effective ways to encourage people to sponsor you and the money comes directly to us, so there’s no need to worry about gathering your sponsorship and bringing it in, or posting it, to us.

1. How do I connect my Fundraising Page to Strava?
- Login to your JustGiving account and view the Fundraising Page you wish to connect with. Scroll down slightly on your Fundraising Page and select the ‘Connect Strava’ button.
You’ll then need to login to or register with Strava (it's free!). We also do not charge anything to use this functionality
- Finally, confirm some Strava permissions and select and save your fitness settings/preferences.
2. Can I connect multiple pages to Strava?
Yes you can connect multiple pages within one JustGiving account. The first page you connect, you’ll be asked to log in to Strava and confirm some permission settings. For any subsequent page you connect, you will bypass this step and go straight to the pages' fitness settings, for you to set specific preferences for that fundraising page.
You can also have different fitness activities appearing on different fundraising pages, for example, one page to just show Running and another to show Cycling.
How do I add people to my team?
When your team member signs up, please ask them to include your team name on the sign-up form, and we will automatically group you together.
