About of walkathon

A walkathon, also known as a charity walk or walk for a cause, is a fundraising event where participants walk a set distance or time, often for a specific cause like medical research or a charitable organization. Participants solicit pledges or donations for each mile they walk, or for completing the event. These events can be held in person or virtually, and often utilize peer-to-peer fundraising platforms to maximize reach and simplify donation collection.
