How: Click the orange "Get Started" button above to sign up and join us in the 2nd annual 5K on the beautiful trails of Folsom Lake State Park. After you register, you will also have the ability to become a "BKBTF Extra Miler" and create your own personalized fundraising page to share with family and friends to introduce them to BKBTF, let them know about your participation in the race, and track your fundraising progress along the way. While this fundraising step is entirely OPTIONAL we encourage you to join us in this effort and here's why...
We are all keenly aware of the economic challenges that many people face and this situation is no different for our sponsored patients. Now more than ever, it is important that we continue to raise funds in order to maintain the ability to help these individuals have a fighting chance in battling this disease. Developing educational materials, providing access to supplements and treatments that aren't covered by insurance, and having the ability to fund groundbreaking research against this disease all cost money. Because the BKBTF is entirely funded by private donors and supporters like you, we turn to you and ask for your assistance as we continue to "pay forward" and help the very people who need it most. Contributing $40 to register for the race is much appreciated, but leveraging your participation 10 times over by finding 10 friends willing to sponsor you for $40 really helps further the cause by raising $400 for the BKBTF.
Will you join us in our passionate pursuit of what's possible?
We're honored to have a tremendous community of friends, supporters, and new faces participating in our 2nd Annual 5K, taking place on one of Bruce's favorite paths in Folsom Lake State Park. Last year we had over 100 participants who helped raise over $50,000 to further this work. Funds raised will enable us to continue sponsoring the evidence-based supplement protocols of over 20 patients, accept new patients, and fund research to evaluate the impact of a nutrition and supplement protocol combined with traditional treatments vs. standard treatment alone.
