Sign up now and fill in your details, set your fundraising goal and you're ready to go

Once you sign up, personalise your page and share your challenge far and wide to ask your friends and whānau for their support.

You can move your butt however you like as long as you can track your kilometres. So walk, run, bike, swim, ebike, treadmill, exercycle - and help beat bowel cancer.

If 100km is too hard, you can set your own personal distance goal when you sign up (or at any time from your dashboard).

You can also team up with friends and family to hit the 100km goal. It’s all about just giving it a go!

Click on the login button in the top banner of your fundraising page (next to the ‘Sign up now’ button) and enter your username and password.

Your username is the email address you used during registration – contact [email protected] if you can’t remember the email you registered with.

It's easy to reset your password, just head to the login page and click "Forgot password?". It'll send you an email, then you'll be on your way. If you didn't receive the email, make sure you check your junk or spam folder. It might take a few minutes to arrive. Any problems just email us.

The challenge begins on the 1st Feb 2026, but you can start whenever it suits you.

You can join anytime from December to February. 

You MUST log in to the back end of your page first, and then go to the 'Log my kms' section.

From here, you can enter the date, distance and activity details, and these will be displayed on your fundraising page (please allow at least 15 minutes for the kilometres to appear on your page).

Move Your Butt is all about getting Kiwis moving in honour of the 100 lives lost to bowel cancer each month.

KMs won’t automatically reset on 1st February, as this flexibility allows patients, their families, and other participants to start logging their activity earlier if needed.

For those who prefer to start fresh on 1st February, we’ve explained how to reset your KMs in the question below. This way, you can tailor the challenge to your goals while supporting an important cause.

You should try resetting your password (from the login page).

If you keep experiencing issues, please email us at [email protected].

There is no minimum amount to raise - every single dollar counts to beat bowel cancer and save Kiwi lives.

Remember, when you raise $150 you'll earn an official Move Your Butt t-shirt for your challenge.

When you sign up, a fundraising page will be created for you!

Simply share the page URL with friends, whānau and colleagues to ask for their support. 

All donations are made securely through Stripe. Bowel Cancer New Zealand directly receives the funds.

Making a personal donation is a great way to kick-start your fundraising and show your commitment to save Kiwi lives!

You can donate during the registration process or at any point across the campaign by clicking the 'donate' button on your fundraising page.

The best way to get people to donate is to tell them what the cause means to you! We know asking for donations can seem daunting but once you get started, you'll see how many people want to support you!

Remember to share progress updates throughout January and February and bring your supporters on the journey with you!

Yes! Head to our Resources page for a range of social media posts, email templates, toolkits, posters and more.

You can share your page via email, Facebook, LinkedIn and more from your fundraising dashboard, or simply by sharing your unique page URL.

Saying thank you is so important! You can see every donation in your fundraising dashboard and you're able to post a message of thanks to each donor from your dashboard as well!

Another good way to thank your supporters is doing a 'thank you' post on social media and tag everyone who has donated so they get a little public recognition too! It also serves as a great gentle reminder for other people who intend to donate but haven't yet.

That's great! You can either deposit the cash in your account and put the donation through your fundraising page, or you can deposit the funds in our bank account (using the account details below) and we'll add these as an offline donation to your fundraising page.

If you transfer the donation to us, please email us on [email protected] to let us know, so we know whose fundraising page to allocate the donation to.
