Hello, participants! Below you will find the MAIN tool - a "How-To" Guide that you can use to host a 1-mile (or other) "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" walkathon, wherever you live in the world! The intent is to hold your event October 25-31, 2010 - or, if this is not good timing for you, do it some other time - anytime is good for an EB fundraiser!
You can also use the basic ideas of the Guide to organize other kinds of events - whether you are holding a bike-a-thon, swim-a-thon, or any other sort of awareness event, rally or fundraiser. Just use the parts of the Guide YOU need! Feel free to sign up on the Event Hosts' Forum if you're an event host, so that you can speak to each other and share ideas! See Fundraising Resources page for tons of information! Here's your main guide:
