c.       I’ve already registered for this event on this site – click on this if you have already completed step 4a but didn’t create a fundraising page and would like to create one now.

5.       You are now given choices on who you want to register.  Fill in the correct number of registrations next to the walker type.

a.       Walker with Down Syndrome -  Free – Enter the number of individuals you are registering with Down syndrome. (i.e. – One person = 1, Two people = 2)

c.       Family Walkers - $25.00 – This is a family membership and includes 3 walker registrations.  (i.e. family with three people = 1, family with six people = 2)

d.       Note:  You can enter more than one registration type in this section. If you have a family of 5 that you want to register and one of the family members has Down syndrome you would enter them as follows: (1) Walker with Down syndrome, (1) Family Walker and (1) Individual Walker.

7.       Who are you registering?

a.       Click on “Yourself” or  “Someone Else”

b.       If you are registering more than one person, you will be given an opportunity to register all individuals. You will just do so one at a time.

8.       Once you enter the name and information, pick which time registration type that you are registering at this time, your phone number and the t-shirt size(s)

a.       Note:  If you are not registering a family then you will only need to indicate one t-shirt size. The one with the red asterisk.

a.       Click “Create Your Page”

b.       Choose a web address – anything you want if it is available

c.       You can do the following on your page:

                                                                i.       Create a fundraising goal (aim for the stars)

                                                              ii.       Upload a picture of your “buddy”

                                                            iii.       Write a personal message.

                                                             iv.       Once complete, click “continue” at the bottom of the page

                                                               v.       When you are ready, email your friends and family your page link and ask them to support you.  You will be surprised how many people will be happy to help you in your fundraising efforts.  It seems to be easier for people to ask them to sponsor you over email than it is in person.

1.       But remember, if someone wants to write you a check or give you cash, you can turn this money in at the walk and still receive credit for your incentive prizes.
