We had a tight deadline of 4 months to build and launch these apps. The main objective of this project was to allow users to log miles on the go, either by manually entering the total or by live tracking their activity via the movements of their phone.

Must haves were a shop section, a news section which pulled a feed from the main website and socials (Twitter & Instagram), ability to donate and optional opt-in to gift aid.

Tracking Challenge Progress

The main objective of this project was to allow users to log miles on the go, either by manually entering the total or by live tracking their activity via the movements of their phone using a GPS tracker.

Compete within Leagues & Districts

Users can join a local league to compete with friends, family, teammates and colleagues. The overall goal is to help your district win by achieving the most miles tracked! Leaderboards help users see progress over time.

Fundraising Made Easy

The over-arching goal of this platform was to generate donations to MND charities. For this reason, must-haves were a shop section and the ability to donate directly via the app, with an optional opt-in to Gift Aid.

The Outcome

The React Native mobile and web apps were delivered in a short turnaround, within 4 months, to be ready for the Doddie fundraising event. The app performed well in its first campaign, where over 17K participants created 100’s of teams. The app not only generated over £900K for the Motor Neuron Disease charity, it has given the charity a platform to grow the event for the future and continue their important work.

A mobile fundraising platform that raised over £900,000 for MND research

We built a community-driven fitness challenge app that turned individual exercise into collective impact. The platform enabled thousands of participants to log miles while raising funds for the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, inspired by rugby legend Doddie Weir.

The impact: £900,000+ raised, thousands of participants engaged, nationwide community mobilised for MND research.
