What is a pledge?  A pledge is a promise. 

『誓い』とは？誓いとは約束

It is simple.  You promise to complete a task and your friends and family promise to give you an amount of money for completing it.  A pledge can be an amount that is as little or as large, as your friends can afford.

難しいことではありません。何かを達成すると心に決め、皆さんのお友達とご家族がその約束を果たすための資金を皆さんに与える約束をすることです。『誓い』はその額に関わらず、お友達が無理なく負担できる額で構いません。

The Terry Fox run is non-competitive event where people get together as groups, or individuals and raise money, or pledges, in the name of Terry Fox.  The money raised by you and your friends is donated in Terry’s name, to cancer research.

テリー・フォックス・ランは、グループや個人で集まってテリー･フォックスという名の下に資金を集めたり、支援金を集めたりするイベントであり、順を競い合う大会ではありません。皆さんやお友達によって集められたお金は、テリーの名前でがんの研究のために寄付されます。

So…. YOU promise to run 5 or 10 kilometers, or walk 5 kilometers, and your friends and family promise to give you an amount of money for completing that.  All pledges, or promises, are welcome!

ですから、皆さんが5キロでも10キロでも走る、又は5キロ歩くという約束をし、皆さんのお友達とご家族が皆さんにその約束を果たすためのお金をすればよいのです。どんな誓いでも、約束でも大歓迎です！
