FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I take part?
-
Register by creating a fundraising page.
Once you've created your fundraising page, make sure you personalise it. Add a profile picture and let your networks know why you're supporting Fight Cancer Foundation in your bio. - Shout it from the rooftops that you've joined The Clock Cancer Challenge. Email family, friends and co-workers the link to your page so they can make a donation.
- Get social: post, snap and tweet and don’t forget to use #ClockCancer.
- For the month of February 2020, complete a 35 minute workout every day and keep those donations rolling in by regularly sharing updates.
Where does my donation go?
- All funds raised through The Clock Cancer Challenge will fund life-saving blood cancer research and vital support services.
- For more information on how your donation will help people living with cancer, visit our What We Do page.
What ways can I complete my 35 minute workouts?
- Your 35 minutes can be made up of any type of physical activity. You can hit the gym, go for a run in the park or take part in a team sport. There's no right or wrong way to make your minutes Count this February.
What if I can’t do 35 minutes every day?
- While you might start with the best intentions, life can get in the way meaning you miss a day or two here or there. If this happens to you, don’t panic! Just work to make up the minutes on a different day.
- A great way to keep yourself accountable is to pledge to make a donation to yourself if you miss a day. This will also show your friends, family and co-workers how dedicated you are to the cause.
- If you're not sure that 35 minutes a day is achievable for you, then pick a goal that is. Just make sure you let your supporters know you're taking The Challenge slightly differently.
What if 1 February has been and gone and I haven't registered?
- The most important thing is that together we're raising awareness and funds to support Australians living with blood cancer or a related blood disorder.
- The Challenge will officially run from 1 - 29 February, but if you miss the beginning of February, or have to finish early, we'd still love for you to join us for as long as you can.
- Registrations will be open for the whole month of February.

Can I join as a team?

- You can create a team through your fundraising page. Please contact us if you have any difficulty doing so.
Can we commit to 35 minutes a day, as a team?
- Of course! Your team can work towards the goal of 35 minutes a day between you.
