Team Mobility Newsletter

May 13, 2026

You're almost at the halfway point—and that's worth celebrating! Take a moment to look back at how far you've come, then get ready to finish even stronger.

If you missed any of our previous newsletters, you can catch up here:

You're Halfway There—Share It!

The halfway point is one of the most powerful moments in your fundraiser. Your network has seen you start—now show them you're still going.

A simple progress update post can re-energize your campaign and bring in donors who haven't given yet. Try something like:

Halfway through my Move for Mobility challenge and I've already raised $[amount] toward my goal of $[goal]! Every dollar helps provide a wheelchair to someone who needs it. If you've been meaning to donate, now is a great time! [link to your fundraising page]

A few things to include in your halfway update:

Your total raised so far—even if you're not at your goal yet, progress is motivating
A training photo or video—show people you're out there doing the work
A specific ask—remind them what their donation actually does ("$108 provides a wheelchair to someone in need")
A thank you—give a shoutout to donors by name if they're comfortable with it

Don't be shy about posting. People are rooting for you! They just need a reminder.

If you need ideas for posting, download our tool kit or check out FreeWheelchairMission.org/movetools/.

Training Tip: Listen to Your Body

At the halfway point, fatigue can start to creep in.

If something feels off, don't push through pain. Take a rest day or swap in a lighter activity.

Staying healthy means you'll be able to finish strong, which is exactly where you want to be. You're Moving for Mobility—for others as well as yourself!

When you're done with your Move for Mobility, don't forget to upload your results here.

Your results will then be posted on our celebration board, and you'll be mailed your special edition 25th Anniversary Pin!*

Cheering you on,
The Free Wheelchair Mission Team
