How do I update my fundraising goal?

How do I bank any offline fundraising?
The best way to bank offline donations is through your online fundraising page with your own credit or debit card.
Deposit the money into your bank account and then make the transaction directly onto your page.
You can even make multiple transactions and add each donor’s name and their individual messages to you. Your total fundraising amount will then be shown on your page. You can get a copy of the receipt in their name and share it with them.
How do I log my distance online with Strava, Fitbit or MapMyFitness?
Your profile page includes your personal distance tally so you can track your distance towards your target.
If you track your workouts with Fitbit, Strava or MapMyFitness your distances will automatically add to your tally. If you do not use one of these apps you can also log your fitness activities manually.
Follow these steps to track your KMs automatically:
- Download the Fitbit, Strava or MapMyFitness app and set up your account.
- Log in to your account on Walk for Him and in your Dashboard go to the My Fitness Activity page.
- Under the heading ‘Connect your preferred Fitness app’, click your chosen app.
- Follow the prompts to connect your account.
- When you next work out, select ‘start your workout’ in the app on your phone. Once you end your workout, save your workout and your distance will be published to the tally on your page the following day.
- If you have synced your app already but it is not working, please log in and reconnect it.
- When using Fitbit, you must ‘start’ an activity and save it. Your cumulative daily kms will not automatically add to your page. If you are having issues, try syncing through BOTH your Fitbit and the Fitbit app on your smartphone.
- Your tally will be updated each day with the previous day’s distances.
What do I do if my fitness app is connected but my data is still not showing on my page?
If you have synced your app already but it is not working, please log in to your fundraising dashboard and reconnect with the fitness app.
How long does it take for my preferred fitness app to sync?
It may take up to 24 hours for your fitness data to sync with your fundraising dashboard. If this has not occurred, please attempt relinking your app and adding any missed workouts manually on the “My Fitness Activity” page.
If you have synced your app already but it is not working, please log in to your fundraising dashboard and reconnect with the fitness app.
How do I log my distance online manually?
You can manually add your kilometres to the tally in your My Fitness Activity tab of your profile after registering. This is a great option if you’re using a pedometer or don’t want to sync your fitness app.
Follow these steps to manually add your KMs:
- Log in to your account and select ‘My Fitness Activity’.
- Under ‘Add activity’, enter the date and distance.
- The number of KMs will now appear on your fundraising page!
