3 What is the Charity Challenge? The Charity Challenge is an annual fundraising event in which employees and alumni of NMG participate. For three months employees across all the businesses run, walk, swim and cycle in the name of raising money for local South African charities. For each mile completed, NMG will donate 5 ZAR towards our nominated charities. Charity Challenge, 2017 dates: 1 June 31 August 3

You can raise money through other activities (see slides 12). And from your fundraising efforts, NMG will match every dollar, Rand, Ringgit and Pound raised. 5

9 ! How do I track my miles? Last year, NMG partnered with SparkPeople who provided a customized fitness application that was adapted to allow staff to log their Charity Challenge miles. We will be using SparkPeople again this year with a refreshed and improved interface. Using this webpage, you can: 1. Track your miles and fund raising efforts. 2. Send/view team photos. 3. Stay up-to-date with most miles logged with a NMG Group wide Team Leaderboard. NOTES: Syncing your devices: Connecting your devices such as FitBit Tracker, Google Fit, Garmin WILL NOT register activity towards Charity Challenge miles. You must input all your data by logging into the webpage. 9 SparkPeople phone application: The is a SparkPeople mobile application is available for download; however, it doesn t have a distance tracker in it. Therefore, you won t be able to manually track things like cycling, running, etc. Only the favorites/minute based activities will show up.
