Gigglesandgumballs: Step it Up Challenge!!

Several friends have expressed interest in joining my Step It Up challenge in January! I am so excited and can not wait to begin! I need a little extra motivation!!! My three oldest kids are all paid up and are ready to start as well. I bought them each step trackers for stocking stuffers for Christmas. They were only $4.95 on Ebay and I can track their steps on my i-phone. It will be a fun challenge within our family and with friends!!

My goal is to have at least 100 people join in!! So keep spreading the word!! I will not mark you down as particpating until the entry fee is paid. It is due when the clock strikes midnight on December 31st and then the competition begins!!!

Thanks!!

Information on the challenge below!!

What is the competition?

--Take the most (recorded) steps and win $$$!

--I will keep track of how many steps you take in January of 2016. The top 5 steppers will receive a percentage of the overall pot.

How will I know how many steps you take?

--Use a tracking device--pedometer, phone ap, fit bit-- anything that accurately counts steps.

--Take a picture or screen shot of your steps each day. At the end of each week, e-mail, text, or send me a Facebook message of your pictures with your total number of daily steps.

How much does it cost to enter this competition?

--Each person will pitch in $10.00 to the overall pot. The winning amount will depend on how many participants there are.

--Winners will be given the following percentages of the overall pot:

1st place- 55%

2nd place-22%

3rd place- 13%

4th place- 7%

5th place- 3%

So for example, if we have 100 steppers the first place person will receive $550, 2nd $220, 3rd $130, 4th $70 and 5th $30.

Prize money will be awarded no later than February 5th!
