Walk 150 toolkit

REASONSTO SUPPORT RBWH FOUNDATION

Celebrating 150 years of Royal Brisbane & Women’s HospitalWalking a 150kms might seem like a mammoth task, but remember you don’t have to do it in one hit, and there’s no date by when you have to do it. You can do it in your own time and in your own way. Whether it’s walking the dog, walking to work, walking the kids to school, taking the stairs instead of the lift, you can even include the distance covered walking to the photocopier machine and back in your office! It all adds to your main goal.

Using the fitness tracker on your mobile phone is the easiest way to record the number of KMs you walk each day. All iPhones have the ‘Health’ app automatically installed, but there are many other fitness apps that can be downloaded for both iPhones and other smartphones, and some of them even integrate with your fundraising page. You can also track the distance you walk each day on your Apple Watch or Fitbit!

No matter what device you use, the number of KMs you walk each day will need to be uploaded to your 150 Reasons fundraising page so they can be put them towards your 150km target.

Using an iPhoneIf you are using an iPhone, you can track your steps and distance travelled with the Activity tracker in the “Health” app that is built into your iPhone (no need to download anything). With this app, you will need to manually transfer your number of kilometres to have them count towards your 150km target.

Step 1 – Locate the Health app in your iPhone

Step 2 – Select the Activity tile

Step 3 – Note your walking + running distance each day and enter it on your 150 Reasons fundraising page

To do this, simply log into your fundraising page and select the ‘Edit this Supporter Page’ button under your profile image. You will then be taken to the ‘Page Options’ screen. Find the ‘Fitness Goal (km)’ and enter 150. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on ‘Save Changes’. Your fitness goal will be updated on your fundraising page.

After you have done some walking and worked out the amount of KMs to add to the tally on your fundraising page, simply follow the below steps.
