Walk of Hope: from registration to the end of the walk

Note on sending kits:

From 2 October 2025, those who register for the Walk of Hope will need to collect their kit on site at the dedicated stand at the Rotonde du Mont-Blanc at the following times:

Friday 10 October (from 4pm)

Saturday 11 October (from 1 p.m.)

Sunday 12 October (from 9 a.m.)

1

Registration

Once you have registered, you will receive a Walker’s Kit by post if you registered before 2 October, or you will be invited to collect it on site if you registered after that date.

The kit includes a walking passport, a list of sponsors to fill out, a QR invoice and practical information (you can already get a head start on the list of sponsors).

2

Finding sponsors

You will then need to find sponsors – among your family, friends and acquaintances – who will commit to donating a certain amount of money for every kilometre you walk. Use the list you received to record their pledges!

3

On the day of the Walk (12 October)

Don’t forget to bring your completed passport, without detaching anything. It will be stamped at every kilometre. Please note: no skates, scooters or skateboards!

If you registered after 4 October or are registering on site, you will receive your passport at that time.

4

After the Walk

You return to your sponsors with your stamped passport to collect the money that was initially agreed upon.

5

Once you have finished collecting

You transfer the full amount collected to Terre des Hommes Switzerland using your personalised QR invoice (one QR invoice per walker).

You also return your list of sponsors and your passport to us using the reply envelope!

What is the "Kit marcheur" and how do I get it?

When you register yourself and your children using the registration form, you will receive confirmation and an invitation, along with your walker’s kit. Inside the envelope, you will find:

a list on which to register your sponsors, accompanied by practical information
your “walking passport,” to take with you on the March day, on which the kilometers walked will be stamped at the stands set up along the route
a QR code invoice to make a donation of your collection to Terre des Hommes Suisse once the walk is over

You can also obtain these documents on site, but we strongly encourage you to order them in advance to avoid waiting in line (these documents are not translated in English)

How to collect donations? List of sponsors

The list of sponsors for the Marche de l’espoir is a key fundraising tool. This list must be filled in with the names of people who financially support the walker. Each sponsor agrees to pay a certain amount of money, calculated according to the distance covered by the walker. The list keeps an organised record of all financial commitments, making it easier to collect and return the funds after the event.
