ABOUT 75 DAY CHALLENGE CAMPAIGN
 
 
 
Join us for a 75 Day Challenge
January 27th -April 12th
75 Hard Challenge
 
It’s a new year and you want to take charge of your health goals! We have a great challenge in 2025 that can help you stay on target for the first couple of months of the year. It’s a 75 Day Challenge! 75 Hard was developed as a transformative mental toughness program to help people on their journey to a healthier lifestyle.
 
Many people struggle to follow the rigid rules of 75 hard but still want to commit to a program that can change their life in 75 days, which led to the development of 75 Medium and Soft. If you’d like to commit to the challenge and feel great at the end of 75 days without feeling like there are zero compromises and minimal flexibility, these options may be right for you.
 
Adding any healthy habit to your life for 75 days straight is going to have a positive impact on your life. What matters most is if those results can be sustained. So, we decided to offer a challenge where we offer all three levels for your comfort zone with the same 75-day commitment. Emphasize your physical health and mental wellness using charity footprints to help you track your process and have the support of the HGF Community.
 
You don’t need to be perfect to achieve a healthier lifestyle. When the 75 days are over, you will have the tools to make the new habits a permanent part of your life. Your goal is to complete this challenge with more confidence, self-esteem, discipline and overall Self-awareness.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Charity Footprints?

Charity Footprints is a social enterprise that connects fitness and charitable giving. We empower people just like you, to get fit & give back.

Our Virtual Races allow non-profits to challenge their patrons to run, walk or ride and raise funds just as they would in a fundraising walkathon. The best part - charities save over 45% in event and logistical costs. So, the dollars that you pay to register or fundraise, go farther.

What is the campaign registration fee?

This campaign is free to participate in.

However, we encourage you to donate optional/suggested amount during registration or you can always donate any amount on your fundraising page after the registration.

How can I create my fundraising page?

Well, you wouldn't have to create a separate fundraising page. Once you register for this campaign, we'll give you the link to your fundraising page.

How will I track my distance?

You can track your workouts by setting up your devices (Fitbit, Garmin, Apple Watch, Health Connect By Android, Misfit, Strava), or download the Charity Footprints' iOS or Android app and track your workouts toward this campaign. ?>

If you workout indoors (treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike etc.), you can upload your workouts here.

How do I join a team on this campaign?

While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.

I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?

All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.

Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?

The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.

That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.

Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.

Who can I contact if I need help?

You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.
