Fit2Be Cancer Free Challenge | Apr. 18 - May 9

On Thursday, April 18th, the Fit2Be Cancer Free challenge kicks off. It starts with the 24-hour CEO challenge. President Lovell will compete with other leaders to see who can go the furthest distance in 24 hours. President Lovell will host an on-campus walk with the American Cancer Society on April 18th from 8:30 am to 9:30 am, starting at the Al McGuire Center. All are welcome! There will be snacks and refreshments provided.

The employee challenge runs for three weeks, through May 9th. The goal is to move 70 miles during this time by doing any sort of activity. You will reach surprise milestones along the way and can compete with coworkers and other companies to see who can move the most! Marquette’s goal is to raise $5,000 which will be split between sarcoma research and health equity in Wisconsin.

Participants can also track their movement during this challenge in the My Wellness portal. Participation in this challenge can be tracked in the portal as a My Wellness Your Way Experience for 10 My Wellness points.

How to Sign Up

Steps are tracked through the MoveSpring app, which can be accessed by creating an account on app.movespring.com or by downloading the iOS or Android app. 

  1. Click this join link. You’ll be navigated to the MoveSpring website or prompted to download the mobile app if you click the link from your mobile phone. It is ideal to download the app on your phone so you can connect your tracking device at the same time.  
  2. Enter the following ORG code if/when prompted: marquette (not case sensitive), and then confirm Marquette University as the organization.  
  3. Follow the steps to create your MoveSpring account and connect a fitness device if you have one.  

Any type of activity can be recorded and then will be converted to steps and distance. 

Once your account is created, you’ll automatically be added to the challenge. Then visit the Marquette gift challenge page, where you will have the opportunity to create your own gift challenge webpage to help Marquette reach our goal.  

Although the Fit2Be Cancer Free Challenge is separate from the My Wellness program challenges, the steps or activity completed during the challenge can be recorded for My Wellness points as well. Steps can be automatically synced to the portal via your fitness device or manually uploaded to earn points. Daily movement can be manually tracked in the portal as well.
