Absolutely! Whether you want to inspire your family to create positive new habits,  or encourage some friendly competition amongst your friends. 58 miles in February could be even more fun when you’ve got teammates to keep you motivated. 

JustGiving team pages let you and your friends to join your individual fundraising pages together to contribute to an overall total. They’re great if you want to raise money separately while still contributing to a larger team goal!

There's no need for you to prove to us that you completed your 58 miles in February challenge.

But we'd love to hear your updates and how you're getting on. You can share your progress on the 58 miles in February Facebook group.

If you'd like, you can use the paper mile tracker from your welcome pack to record your daily distance. Then, take a photo to share on the Facebook group once you complete your challenge.

Of course! This challenge is for everyone. You can either take on 2 miles every day, or take on several longer distances with breaks in between.

You could walk 1 mile one day, and run 5 miles a few days later! It's completely up to you how you chose to complete your 58 miles.

If you can't complete 58 miles across February, that’s okay too. You can extend your challenge into March if helpful. But it's also okay if you finish having completed less that 58 miles.

Every mile is an achievement. And remember, raising money and awareness for mental health is the most important thing.

Being active during 58 miles in February challenge can be a great way to support your mental health.

But it’s important to remember we all have different preferences, tolerances and fitness levels.

Try to make sure you're letting yourself recover, by resting your body and mind. You can build in rest days where you take a break. Or, you could add in low intensity days, incorporating a short gentle walk into your plans.

The key here is to try to be mindful of what you’re doing, and strike a healthy balance.

By filling in the registration form (it takes less than 2 mins), your fundraising page will be created. Share your page with your family and friends and ask them to support your efforts and donate to the cause. 

We'll be on hand in the Facebook group to offer helpful tips and support with your fundraising efforts throughout the challenge. 

Yes, of course. You can register by filling in the form and creating your JustGiving page instead. 

Yes. The easiest way is to collect their donation offline and donate it your fundraiser yourself. Or by directing them to your JustGiving page if you choose to fundraise off Facebook.

If someone wants to donate to your 58 miles in February fundraiser but would prefer to donate offline, the best thing is to collect their donation offline and pay it into your personal account. You can then donate it directly to your fundraiser yourself.

No, there’s no minimum fundraising amount. The default amount on each fundraiser is set at £100 but you can edit this amount. All that we ask is that you raise as much as you can, and every penny you raise will go towards providing lifesaving information and support to anyone experiencing a mental health problem. As a thank you we’ll even send you a 58 miles in February medal when you raise £100 or more.

If you type 'fundraiser' in Facebook search bar, it should come up. If you still can't find it, please ask our admins in the Facebook group or email us at [email protected]

Of course! If you wish to fundraise for your local Mind, please contact them directly and they will let you know what fundraising event they’re currently running.

58 miles in February is a fundraising challenge, and we would ask that you please try and fundraise if taking part in the challenge. However, we recognise that times are tough for some of us right now and not everyone will be in a position to donate as much or as often. We’ll be on hand to offer support and tips throughout the challenge. Every penny you raise is hugely appreciated and will go towards providing life changing support for those living with a mental health problem. If you’d like to make a one-time donation to Mind instead of fundraise you can do so here https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/58milesinfeb 

If you have fundraised through a Facebook or JustGiving fundraising page, then there is nothing you need to do. All donations will automatically come directly to Mind. If you have offline fundraising to pay in we would suggest paying this in to your own account and then onto your fundraising page yourself. However, if you would prefer to send us your offline fundraising a different way please email [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help with this.

Congratulations on raising such an impressive amount! We will be sending 58 miles in February medals on a weekly basis from the end of January. Please expect to receive your medal within 14 days of raising £100. If you haven’t received these after 14 days, please contact [email protected]
