MM&M invites you, our community, to join us for MM&M Move Together, a five-day fitness challenge from August 24-28, 2020 that will highlight the importance of taking care of your mental and physical health and well-being, especially during these uncertain times. Throughout the five days, we want you to get active and track your miles to help us make the journey from coast to coast. You can run, cycle, walk, swim, crawl throughout the challenge to help us reach our goal and make a difference to a charity very close to our hearts.
For every mile you log, MM&M will donate one dollar to World Central Kitchen*, to help feed families in need who've been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. World Central Kitchen (WCK) is an organization that helps set up central kitchens throughout the world in order to feed people after a disaster when they need it most.
With traditional safety nets like school feeding programs, city services, and food banks struggling to meet basic needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the country’s hospital workers stretched thinner than ever before, WCK is working across America to safely distribute individually packaged, fresh meals in communities that need support – for children and families to pick up and take home, as well as delivery to seniors who cannot venture outside. WCK is now active in dozens of cities providing over 250,000 fresh meals every day.
As balanced nutrition is just as paramount to our physical health as fitness, we thought the organization’s mission to heal through nourishment of body and soul made them an optimal partner and deserving beneficiary.
In the weeks leading up to the event, we invite you to #TrainForMoveTogether. For the months of July and August, we want you to show us, teach us and cheer us on as we prepare to get active for a good cause. MM&M will feature different trainers, influencers and health experts from our own community, who will be sharing their tips and tricks on all things fitness and wellness.
*MM&M will be donating one dollar for every mile up to 5,000 miles. The route is 3,500 miles so we're hopeful our participants will help us smash that goal.
Join us as a participant, cheerleader, coach, mentor, influencer and/or Sponsor for this one-of-a kind event helping our community with MM&M. Here are some ways being a valued sponsor can make this event a success!
Track workouts anywhere & anytime and complete goal.

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.
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.
