FAQ's

Skip Your Way for 30 Days is a month of skipping designed to increase your physical activity and strengthen your heart, all while raising funds to support life-saving heart disease research. 

You can complete your challenge anywhere, from your local park or gym to your backyard!

Yes, you can set a skipping target that suits you. Setting a goal that is personally challenging will make others more likely to support you.

Simply log in to your Skip Your Way account and head to your dashboard. Scroll down to your fitness milestone bar where you’ll see and ‘update my fitness goal’ button. Follow the prompts to change your goal – don't forget to click save when you are done.  

A Facebook fundraiser is a fundraising feature available through your Skip Your Way for 30 Days dashboard. It will help turbocharge your fundraising by creating a linked Facebook fundraiser to your Skip Your Way fundraising page, allowing your friends and family to make a donation to you while they scroll social media!  

The page allows you to share your Skip Your Way fundraiser with your friends, tell people why you’re taking part, provide updates to your supporters and ask for donations.

A Facebook fundraiser can be set up in just a few clicks.  

1. Login to your Skip Your Way for 30 Days dashboard.  

1. Click the blue button prompting you to “Create a Facebook Fundraiser”  

1. Follow the prompts and a fundraiser will be created and shared on your Facebook page. 

When you create your Facebook fundraiser, Facebook will create a Skip Your Way fundraising page for you by pulling through the information you have included on your Skip Your Way fundraising page.   

 You can personalise your Facebook fundraiser after the page has been created by editing the post and changing features such as your fundraising goal and cover photo.  

 You can also use your Facebook fundraising page to provide updates, photos and messages of thanks to supporters.   

It can take a couple of hours for a donation on your Facebook fundraiser to show up on your Skip Your Way page. We suggest checking back later and your donation should be there. 

The easiest way is using the blue ‘invite’ button at the top of your Facebook fundraiser page. This will directly invite your friends to support you.

Your fundraising goal won’t be brought across to your Facebook fundraiser but don’t worry, it’s easy to update!

Just follow these steps:

1. Click ‘edit’ in the top right-hand corner of the goal tab on your Facebook fundraiser.
2. Change the fundraising goal in the left-hand panel.
3. Done!

Your Facebook fundraiser will only show donations that have been made via Facebook, and only those that have come through since creating the page.

Because of this, donations made through your fundraising page won’t show on your Facebook fundraiser.

We recommend looking to your fundraising page as the primary source of information on your fundraising efforts.

Unfortunately, not. You can only create a Facebook fundraiser for your individual fundraising page.

Any existing Facebook fundraisers won't be linked to your Skip Your Way page, so these donations won’t show up on your Skip Your Way dashboard.  

If you would like to receive donations through Facebook, we recommend clicking the blue ‘Create a Facebook fundraiser’ link on your Skip Your Way dashboard. 

No. When sharing an update on Facebook, some users will receive a prompt to add a “Donate” button to their post. The Facebook “Donate” button takes donations through a different third-party, so they won’t appear on your Skip Your Way fundraising page. 

We recommend sharing your Skip Your Way fundraiser on Facebook by either:  

• Creating a Facebook fundraiser by clicking the link on your Skip Your Way dashboard.   

• Sharing the link to your Skip Your Way page on Facebook and collecting donations there.   

We don’t recommend using Facebook’s ‘Donate’ button to raise funds for Skip Your Way as we can’t link donations back to your Skip Your Way fundraising page or be counted towards your fundraising total.  

If you’ve already used the button in a Facebook post, we suggest that you delete the post, as this is the only way to remove the Facebook ‘donate’ button.  

If you would like to raise money for Skip Your Way on Facebook, we suggest:  

1. Creating a Facebook fundraiser by clicking the link on your Skip Your Way dashboard.   

1. Sharing the link to your Skip Your Way page on Facebook and collecting donations there.   

Unfortunately, not. If you delete your Facebook fundraiser, you can’t create another one.

To continue fundraising on Facebook, we suggest sharing the link to your fundraising page, so your contacts can make a donation there.

You will need to first delete the fundraiser itself to be able to delete your post attached to it.

Note that if you delete your Facebook fundraiser, you'll be unable to create another one.
