How it Works

1. Pledge a certain amount for the distance walked on August 13th when sponsoring a walker! “I pledge $____ per 0.5km walked by ______.” The money will be paid to SUSK who will make a donate to Unite with Ukraine on my behalf.

2. Ensure that you (the walker and sponsor) are registered on the Strava app to track your distance. This is the only way SUSK is able to track the distance walked. The link to the group can be found in each registration package. If you are external from SWS, a link will be sent once you have registered as walker.

3. Wear blue and yellow to show your Ukrainian pride!

4. Send the Sponsor Form to friends and family who are supporting this initiative. CLICK HERE

5. Provide your supporters with your total distanced walked so that they can make a donation!
