The Motherless Daughters Australia 10km Walk and Talk is a fundraiser that challenges you to walk 10km on Saturday 3rd May, and raise funds to support women and girls who have lost their mum. The ‘talk’ part of the Walk and Talk brings in connection. Team up with people you already know, or reach out to our Motherless Daughters Australia Community to see if there is anyone local to you who is walking at the same time.

Yes absolutely! We’ve got people taking part to support or even walk alongside their friends and family. Fundraising will support motherless daughters in Australia, whether or not you are a motherless daughter yourself.

No. If you’d prefer to take part in the Walk and Talk as a solo challenge you’re more than welcome to.

If walking 10km doesn’t work for you, feel free to participate in a different way. Some might walk 5km and others might run 10km. The event is set up as a 10km walking event, however, if you choose a different way to participate, you can write this in your profile so that people can see when they come to your page to support you.

To create a team, you need to be signed up to the MDA Walk and Talk as an individual participant first.

Once you’ve created your own profile, click the button on your profile page that says ‘Create a team and invite friends’ under the JOIN A TEAM box.

If this is a team for your workplace, select ‘Yes’ to ‘Is this a team for your workplace?’ Include your organisation name then click, Create Team.

If your team is for friends and family, check ‘No’ when asked ‘Is this team for your workplace?’ then click, Create Team.

You will be prompted to invite team members once you’ve created your team profile. Note that you must be signed up as an individual participant to be able to create a team.

After checking on the ‘Invite team members’ button, you will see a link to your team page to share under the ‘JOIN MY TEAM’ tab. Copy this link and share this with your friends, family or workmates.

When your friends, family or workmates click on the link, they will need to sign themselves up as an individual participant first. They will then be automatically added to your team.

If they are already signed up, they will need to log in and then they will be automatically added to your team.

The easiest way to join a team is via the unique team URL, which is located on the team profile page.

You can also search for the team under ‘JOIN A TEAM’. Once you have found your team, then select ‘Join Team’.

You can search for a team by name under ‘JOIN A TEAM’ on your individual profile page. You can also search for a team by name on the home page using the search function on the top right ‘Find a fundraiser or team’.

Some teams are set to private which means the team leader needs to accept your request before being able to join a team. Email us at [email protected] and we’ll send a friendly reminder to your team leader.

Organisation level is created by the MDA Walk and Talk team when you have two or more workplace teams. Please get in touch with us at [email protected] and we can set this up.

To become a workplace team, you need to select ‘Yes’ when asked ‘Is this a team for your workplace?’ when creating a team. If you need help, contact us via email at [email protected]
