FAQs

Click ‘Join a Walk‘ on the top right-hand corner of the Walk4BrainCancer website. From there select the walk you’d like to attend by filtering by state and territory. Click ‘View Walk‘, then on that page click ‘Register’.

You’ll be asked to choose if you’d like to register and fundraise or register and create/ join a team. Once you’ve selected an option you can then select the number and type of tickets you’d like to purchase and progress to payment.

Your ticket includes entry to the event. Depending on the walk you attend, your ticket might also give you access to a ‘finish’ area where there may be live entertainment and formalities. Please visit the event pages for your event-specific information.

Your ticket does not include refreshments pre and post-event.

Walk4BrainCancer events require infrastructures such as staging, sound equipment and various suppliers. The registration fee enables us to provide these services, and once those costs are met, all profits go directly to the brain cancer cause. These costs differ depending on the event and the infrastructure required, and we aim to keep them as minimal as possible. We are grateful to our suppliers who generously offer low and pro bono services.

No. This is covered by your registration fee. 100% of your fundraising dollars go to the cause, not to event infrastructure.

When registering for the walk, you’ll be asked if you’d like to create a new team or join a team page. This must be done when registering for the event.

To Join or Create a team:

If you haven’t already registered, start by finding your walk and clicking ‘Register’. As you move through the registration process, you’ll be asked to select your fundraising page preference, which will include selecting either ‘Create’ or ‘Join a Team’

Follow the steps to create your fundraising page and team page. Only one person has the ability to edit a team page and add members, so decide who that person will be before you set up the team page.

Please note: If you’ve already registered but have not set up an individual fundraising page (or someone else registered for you) and change your mind about fundraising, please contact help@walk4braincancer.com.au to get a page created.

By creating a team page, you’ve also created an individual fundraising page. Please direct your friends and family, who only wish to donate and not attend, to your individual fundraising page. If you direct people to donate to your team page, the funds will be part of a generic pool of that page and not against your name. This can make things confusing when it comes to thanking people for individual donations.

To join a team, you must be registered for a walk.

Join with your individual fundraising page: This allows you to show how much you have contributed to the team page as an individual when you direct people to donate to your individual fundraising page.

– If you haven’t already registered, start by finding your walk and clicking ‘Register’. As you move through the registration process, you’ll be asked to select your fundraising page preference, which will include selecting either ‘Create‘ or ‘Join a Team‘. Under ‘Join a Team‘ you’ll be able to search for the name of the team you want to join. Your name and fundraising page will then appear on the team page. This allows you to show how much your individual efforts have contributed to the team.

Please note: If you’ve already registered but have not set up an individual fundraising page (or someone else registered for you) and change your mind about fundraising, please contact help@walk4braincancer.com.au to get a page created.

–  If you’ve registered and already have an individual fundraising page, log-in at the top of www.walk4braincancer.com.au and go to ‘My Pages‘ at the top right of the page. Click on your fundraising page and click ‘Update Details‘ on the top left hand side of the page. You then have the option to ‘Join, Change or Leave a Team’.

Previously, you were able to join a team as a ‘Name only member’. This feature has now been removed. In order to ‘Join a Team’ online, you must have a fundraising page to be part of the team fundraising page.

It takes around two weeks for a custom t-shirt to be produced and posted. As they’re extra special, they take a bit longer to be printed. To be sure you receive this in time for your event, please order three weeks in advance.

Our production team needs to spend time setting up your team’s design and making sure that your shirts look amazing. The minimum to make this cost effective for us, and you, is five shirts.

In order to get a great result for your custom t-shirt, we need you to supply a high-resolution image so the photo on your t-shirt doesn’t look blurry or pixelated.

We suggest using a photo that is in JPEG format and minimum 300dpi, or at least 1299 pixels high x 1299 pixels wide.

Alternatively, you can email info@curebraincancer.org.au with your order number and we’ll ensure the right photo is printed on your shirt.

You can check whether your photo meets these requirements by following these steps:

• Right click on the saved image on your computer
• Go to properties
• Click on the ‘details’ tab
• All the information you’re looking for is in the ‘image’ section of this screen
