You’ll be able to set your own personal distance goal starting from the day you register until the day of your community Multiple Myeloma March this fall (whether it be virtual or live). What this means is that instead of being limited to the original 5km we’ve always done, you can now challenge yourself and go as far as you’d like… 5km, 50, or 100 or even 500km! This new Personal Distance Tracker will be a great way to stay healthy, active and motivated throughout the months leading to the actual Multiple Myeloma March date in your area. And here’s the best part: by setting up your distance challenge in your Participant Centre and keeping your progress updated, we’ll be able to tally the total kilometres walked by our entire community from coast-to-coast! We’ll really be able to virtually walk the walk all together, bringing us closer to one another than ever.

Whether you can gather together for your in-person event or not, the March will go on! Here’s how:

If your community March doesn’t take place in the traditional sense, due to COVID-19 related restrictions, we invite you and your team to still register for the Multiple Myeloma March, and participate in a 5km walk - on the same day and time as the scheduled event - in your own community or neighborhood. It’s the perfect compromise because we are definitely not cancelling!

If your Multiple Myeloma March does go ahead as planned but you’re not able to attend, we also encourage you to still participate in your neighbourhood, on the same day and at the same time as the physical event. Many March leaders are working on a virtual option where you’ll be able to join in ‘virtually’ during the opening ceremonies so that everyone can be together. The most important thing is to stay and feel safe while keeping the energy and excitement going. It doesn't matter if we're all together, or just with close family, we can still make the event happen one way or another, have a great time and raise funds and awareness for myeloma.

No March? No problem. Register for the Virtual Multiple Myeloma March and get started today. Simply Click on “Find a city” and select the “Virtual” option.

• Login into your Participant Centre, as per steps in “ Registering for the March”.
• If you’re registering as part of a team, it is important to note that a donor can either make a donation to a participant, or directly to the team. Therefore, in the Participant Centre, the donations will be split up as such.
• Click on the “home” tab. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and there will be a section called “personal donations”. These are the donors that have donated to your personal page. Next, if you click on the tab “my team” (just above the “Your fundraising progress” section, you can toggle to the team donations by clicking on “My Team”. Those who donated directly to the team will be listed under team donations. It is important to note that the team total is the total amount raised by the team.

It depends on where and how the donation was made. Firstly, the donor has the choice to make their name, donation amount, or both, anonymous to the public. Therefore, on your personal or team webpage, the donation may show in your list of donors as name only, donation amount only, or not at all. In any case, the donation is still counted in your fundraising total. You’ll still be able to see a full list and donation amount in your Participant Centre by following the steps in question 5.

Secondly, if you are part of a team, the donor has the choice to make a donation to a personal team member, or to the team itself. Therefore, their donation will appear on the page where the donation was made. Rest assured, all donations made to either the participant or to the team, are tallied into the team total. For example, let’s say Mary and Mark are part of Team Myeloma. Mary receives a donation of $20, and Mark receives a donation of $20. Each of their personal pages will reflect a donation of $20, and the team page will show $40. However, if a donor makes a donation directly to Team Myeloma for $40, the Team page will show a donation of $40, but both Mary and Mark’s pages will show $0. Therefore, the team total is the true total.

Visit www.myelomamarch.ca and click “donate”. There will then be an option to search for a participant, team or city. Type in the appropriate information and the search results will appear. Select the participant you intend to donate to by clicking the “donate” now next to their name in the search results.

Absolutely, in fact, the sooner you mail in your donations with the Offline donation form the sooner your fundraising thermometre will rise on your webpage.

Please note that online donations made to you or your team are instantaneous! As soon as a donation is made, you’ll receive an email to let you know.
