Share a Step FAQ 

What will this event benefit? 

This year, Share A Step is supporting The Life Enrichment program at Wesley Health Care Center. This program provides an array of services which improve our resident’s quality of life and their wellbeing. With your support our residents will be able to live the life they love and engage in the activities they enjoy, all within the community they call “home”.

Do I have to walk, run or bike? I just want to raise funds for Share a Step. 

While we encourage walking even just a mile a day, we are happy to have participants just raise funds for the event! You can create a fundraising page, and share your own story on why you are fundraising for Wesley. Make sure you share your page with your social circles to earn points for participation! 

How do I automatically track my fitness?

All participants who are walking, running or biking have two options for tracking their fitness. 

1. You may ​track your fitness miles on your own, and then manually enter the miles that you have traveled to your individual fundraising page. This will automatically update your page, as well as the leaderboards. 

2. You may create a free Strava account (click here) to track your workouts. You may link your preferred activity trackers to your Strava account, or simply use the app while you are getting your miles in. Once the activity is complete your page will automatically update, as well as the leaderboard. 

3. Click "Manage my page" --> "Record Fitness Activity" to connect your Strava account or manually enter your miles!

Do I have to take on one of the challenges? 

We encourage each participant to set a mileage goal that is comfortable for your current fitness level and what your schedule allows for over the course of the week. If that means walking one mile a night, or taking on one of the challenges we listed, that is up to you!

We are excited to share a step with all participants - from 1 mile to 100!
