If I forget my password, how do I log in?

You can pick up your T-shirts on race day. If you registered as an 'Individual or Small Group' your t-shirt will be mailed to you.

Does all the money donated go to the CJD Foundation?
Yes. Proceeds will support the CJD Foundation’s General Fund, which supports medical education, family support, and research programs.

Do you accept checks?
Yes. Please make checks payable to CJD Foundation. You can turn them in on race day or mail them to:

How do I become a sponsor?
Click on the 'Donate/Become a Sponsor' button at the bottom of any page.

I accidentally registered twice. Can I get one of the fees back?
Currently, users are restricted to only being able to register and create a fundraising account ONCE per email address. If you accidentally register twice under two different email addresses, the registration fee cannot be refunded. 

What if people want to sponsor me or my team, but don’t want to register for the walk? How will they find my page?
You are encouraged to share your personal fundraising page link with your friends and family in order to give them the quickest and easiest way to navigate to your fundraising page. This link can be found when you log in, click "Fundraising Tools," and click "Copy My Page URL." Once you copy that URL, you can send it to your friends and family so they can easily find your page. 

If you have not sent your URL to someone who is looking to donate to your fundraising goal, they can find your personal fundraising page by navigating to the Search bar in the top left hand corner. Here they can type your name and click your page when it appears.

What if I want to register for the event and receive a t-shirt, but I can't walk the day of the Walk?
Register as a "Virtual/Individual Participant" and we will mail you a t-shirt. 

I accidentally added donations to the CJD Foundation directly instead of a specific individual or team fundraising page. Can I change this so my donation is reflected under the desired participant or team's fundraising goal? 
Please contact help@cjdfoundation.org to request that a donation be moved to a specific team or participant's fundraising goal.

Can I register on-site?
Yes. Day of registrations are available.

If I collected cash/checks for Strides for CJD, can I bring them with me to the walk and turn them in there?
You can bring cash and checks the day of the walk to the registration table.

Can I take pictures?
Absolutely! We encourage you to share your pictures on social media using #Strides4CJD. It's a great way to promote awareness about CJD. We may also want to use them on our website and in our newsletter.

Can I link my social media accounts even if I don't sign up with Facebook or Twitter?
Yes. Simply log in to your account, navigate to "Share Event", and you'll find "Share on Facebook" and "Share on Twitter" options. Click either tab for instructions on how to link your social accounts in order to share posts right out of the event. 

Can I "tag" team members in my pictures? 
If you choose to add photos to your fundraising page, either on the slideshow or in another area on your page, there are no tagging capabilities. However, posting images on social media platforms, tagging friends and family, and linking to your personal or team fundraising page can be done!

If I don't have a YouTube or Vimeo account, is there a way to upload videos to my personal or team fundraising page?
Unfortunately, no. Using personal links to videos that live on YouTube or Vimeo keeps the page load times of your team or personal fundraising pages optimized. If users were able to upload video files, your page load time would be slowed down.
