March Against Malaria
Walk together to raise funds to Finish the Fight against Malaria
This page is for Rotary clubs and contains the registration form for the March Against Malaria Event
If your club is looking for something exciting to take part in that raises money for a good cause, then look no further than our March Against Malaria (MAM)! Ideally, the March Against Malaria should happen in March prior to or on World Malaria Day in April, or before the Rotary year-end, but it can happen in any month you wish. You have the chance to join your fellow Rotarians and local communities in walking to raise awareness for Malaria elimination.
How can I take part?
March Against Malaria is an inclusive event everyone can take part in from young families to the older generation. Even take the dog(s)! It can be done outdoors or virtually.
1. For an outdoor event, challenge your fundraisers to walk a target number of kilometres and get sponsorship and donations.
2. An organised event could be at a public park, playing field or on walking tracks. Pick a location that is suitable for multiple age groups and families, as it is a chance to highlight Rotary to the broader public.
3. Walkers could do a virtual march on a treadmill exercise machine, either in the gym or at home, and cover the equivalent distance to a capital city or another target.
4. It may be possible to set up treadmill machines at shopping centres where you could see how far people can walk in one or two minutes.
5. Local firms might also be able to get involved in their workplace.
I'm interested! What do I need to do?
1. Speak to your Club President and try to co-ordinate your event with other clubs. A copy of a PowerPoint/PDF presentation is available to deliver more information to your club members.
2. Download the Guidance Pack along with the poster. The Guidance Pack will explain all you need to know about setting up your event in detail and contains details about the risk assessment and insurance requirements.
3. Register your event once you have the details sorted out. Use the form below to submit details of your event. This allows the MAM team to possibly publish your event on a map for the public to find. Your event will not appear immediately; the MAM team needs to check it first and make sure details are correct.
