Fundraising is strongly encouraged. Please remember that the funds you raise help JWW to raise awareness of ongoing atrocities in Myanmar, Sudan, South Sudan, Syria and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and to provide funds for relief projects and development in refugee camps and communities in conflict.
Registered Walkers who do not want to fundraise are encouraged to make a donation in addition to the registration fee in lieu of raising funds. Please see suggested donation amounts.
Does my registration fee count towards my fundraising?
Your registration DOES count towards your fundraising. Your registration fee is actually your first donation to your fundraising efforts and will be reflected on your personal and team pages. All donations you receive (including self-donations) WILL move the thermometer immediately. Please feel free to email us at walk@jww.org with any questions.
