As some long time readers of Step by Step Fundraising might know, I began this site because of my volunteer experience raising funds as part of a charity marathon. Last year I began a new website, first starting with a blog, that focuses exclusively on charity walks, runs and cycling events. Now after many months of working behind the scenes the site now has a complete social network.
If you are participating in a charity walk, run or other athletic event, join us and get your own profile page. Your free membership includes:
- Forum where you can ask questions, get tips on training and fundraising
- Find other members who are also passionate about your causes
- Connect with like minded people all over the world
- Photo gallery, blogs, polls and more
If you are on the other side — working directly for a non profit — and planning a charity athletic event then when you join you can:
- Post your event details in our event section
- Create groups so that you can keep in touch with participants
- Post photos from past events

I am looking for information on signing up for a triathalon or marathon, myself. If anyone can help with some good info, that would be a great start for me. This sounds like a new goal of mine, it’s so great that it will help me and many others. Thank You and any help will be appreciated.

Hi Dawn, there are several articles that describe successful 5Ks and have ideas on how to plan one. March for Markley 2 Mile Run/Walk and Taylor’s Angels 5K.
You can also post any other specific questions on the Charity Mile forum. Good luck!
