Thank you for joining  Move for PSC: Miles of Impact. We’re thrilled to have you with us on this journey to raise awareness and critical research funds for Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). 

By committing to 25 miles or 25 hours of movement in June, whether you’re walking, cycling, swimming, dancing, or doing any activity that moves your body, you’re helping us get closer to a future with better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for PSC.

Tips for Success

Fundraising Tip

Ask 10 friends to give $100 or 20 friends to give $50. Small asks from your network can add up quickly to make a big impact!

Make it personal.

  • Make a self-donation to lead by example.  
  • Share your connection to PSC aka your why. 
  • Start with close friends and family. 
  • Be clear: are you asking for a donation, to join your team, or to share your campaign? 
  • Set and communicate a clear goal. 
Team Captain Tips

Great teams need great leaders. Here’s how to lead with impact.

  • Set the Tone: Choose a realistic and inspiring team goal (i.e. 10 members x $1,000 = $10,000). 
  • Be Visible: Make your story public and show your progress.  
  • Recruit Your Crew: Aim for 5 – 15 members from all areas of life. 
  • Celebrate Together: Recognize efforts and wrap up the month with gratitude. 
Matching Gifts

You could be fundraising double without even knowing it. Many employers match donations, some even match volunteer hours. Encourage donors to check with HR or visit their company’s giving portal.
Need help? We’re happy to assist with documentation or employer forms. Email us at contactus@pscpartners.org.

Saying thanks.

  • Thank each donor promptly via email, text, or handwritten note.  
  • Share your progress with them. 
  • Post public thank-yous on social media. 
  • Wrap up with a heartfelt update: miles moved, dollars raised, and the difference made.

FAQ

Our fundraising platform is powered by Mightycause in partnership with Colorado Gives Foundation, but Move for PSC is a national program. Every dollar supports PSC Partners’ work to fund research, advocate for patients, and build community.

No. The goal is meant to motivate, not limit you. Move in a way that works for you. Every mile and hour counts.

Anything that gets you moving. Walking, biking, swimming, yoga, dancing, strength training, even yard work all count.

Fundraising is encouraged, as every dollar supports research and patient programs. You can still participate at any level, and even a simple ask can make a meaningful impact.

Track your progress in whatever way works best for you, whether that’s a fitness app, smartwatch, or simple manual tracking.

Recognition gifts for fundraising milestones will be sent in early July after the challenge ends.
