It’s time to take action for HAE!
 
Thank you for registering to participate in the 2021 HAE IN-MOTION® Virtual Challenge.
 
We are delighted that you have chosen to join us in this year’s HAE IN-MOTION® Challenge!

What is the 2021 HAE IN-MOTION® Virtual Challenge?
 
The 2021 HAE IN-MOTION® Virtual Challenge initiative is a six week-long community virtual walk, run, or ride that allows you to log in your steps and share your exercise goals directly on our site! By participating, you will help us reach our target of 50,000 miles by July 31, 2021, and raise funds in support of key HAEA programs.
 
The HAE IN-MOTION® Virtual Challenge allows participants to add their steps with others from around the country. We also have created several national challenges to keep you motivated throughout the event.
 
The 2021 HAE IN-MOTION® Virtual Challenge is easy and convenient because it works with your daily routine to log in steps on behalf of HAE awareness. Whether you run, walk, do yoga, play hoops, or simply do house cleaning, your steps will be counted towards our goal of reaching 50,000 miles by July 31, 2021.
 
Whatever your activity is, you can join us by tracking through this website and/or the easy-to-use, Charity Footprints App. The mobile app will enable you to join teams, update your steps and upload photos for awards! Whatever activity you do, we want you to track your steps to help us reach our 50,000 mile goal to spread HAE awareness and raise funds! You can also pair your FitBit, Apple Watch or Garmin to the app to track your steps!

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, Google Fit, 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.

How do I change or switch my team?

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.
