  • How do I register for the walk and set myself up as a fundraiser ?
    STEP 1 - The best way to do this is to first set up your fundraiser account. There is no cost to do this. It gives you the ability to have an individual fundraiser page that others can donate to and gives you the option to join or create a team. If you’re not sure about creating a team or the team you wish to join has not been set up yet, select “Individual/ Decide later”. Then literally you can decide later. This will get you started using your personal page to encourage others to help this worthy cause. As you know there are no fundraising minimums for our walk. STEP 2 - You are ready to sign up for the walk, pick your t-shirt type and size (or opt for no shirt), with or without our new “I Walk For” Bib. Because you have set up your name as a fundraiser, you can now select your name from the list and your registration dollars will immediately add to your fundraising total. Remember the team and the individual with the highest fundraising total will lead the walk with Dr. Weintritt. Now you’re off and running 👟 and we thank you!
  • How do I register myself and/or others for the walk?
    Go directly to the “Register/Donate” button on the home page. You will be able to select your registration type, shirt size and can select a registration type that can include our new “I Walk For” Bib. In previous years, many of you have opted out of receiving a shirt. That option is available again this year with or without the new “I Walk For” Bib During this registration you will be able to attribute your dollars to a team or individual who is set up as a fundraiser. You're done and we are grateful.
  • How will people be able to donate to my page?
    If you have signed up as a fundraiser you will be able to share a link directly to your page where donations can be paid indicating credit to you as a fundraiser. You must be a registered fundraiser to do this.
  • I am having problems with my registration, shirt selection, fundraising page, team information who do I contact?
    You can use the question form on the bottom of the page or simply email walktobustcancerhelp@gmail.com
  • What type of sizing are the shirts?
    All walk shirts are unisex sizing so keep that in mind when making your choice.
  • When will I get my shirt?
    We will hold one early pick up date. This date will be provided to everyone via email and website updates. If you do not pick it up, then it will be available on the day of the walk.
  • Am I guaranteed a shirt?
    If you register by 20 September 2024, you are guaranteed the shirt type and size you selected. After that date the type and size cannot be guaranteed.
  • Can my shirt be mailed to me?
    No. We have the two opportunities for pick up.
  • Can I exchange my shirt for a different size?
    No. Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate size substitutions.
  • How long is the Walk to Bust Cancer?
    We utilize the Fort Hunt Park Main Loop (Length: 1.3 mi.) The surface is asphalt, smooth, and typically at least 8 feet wide. The estimated grade is mostly gentle (5% or less). The loop will likely be navigable for most participants using wheelchairs/mobility equipment or strollers. There are benches and picnic tables along the route for resting, and there is an unpaved trail that cuts nearly through the middle of the loop and returns you to the Walk's start gate.
  • Can I register at the walk that morning?
    Yes, it is possible. However, you will need to use the walktobustcancer.org website to register and then a member of the Walk Team will verify your registration. Shirts cannot be guaranteed after September 20, 2024.
  • Can I bring my dog to the walk?
    Yes, we are dog-encouraged! Dogs should be well-behaved in public/crowds and always on a leash. All park rules must be followed, they can be found https://www.nps.gov/gwmp/planyourvisit/forthunt.htm
  • Where do I park?
    There is ample parking around the walk site. Please be observant and follow the parking attendant volunteers, cones and signs. There are a limited number of handicapped parking spots. If you require one, please tell one of our parking attendants as you enter the lot.
  • Will there be vendor tables at the walk?
    Many local businesses and health care related organizations will be set up to provide information. Following park rules there will be no sales of items at the park.
