Frequently Asked Questions
- You can create a family "Team” and register each family member individually. This will mean that each family member has their own fundraising page, and will be raising money individually.
- You can create one “walker/runner” page for the whole family. This will enable you to raise money together on one page. If you reach the $180 milestone as a family you can purchase additional masks and T-Shirts for the race for $36 (Mask+T-shirt = $36). If you would like to do this please contact Maryn to coordinate.
