The NF Marathon Team Program is an exciting way of supporting NF research and Children's Tumor Foundation programs. Individuals sign up to participate in an established marathon as part of the NF Marathon Team. Participants receive training in fundraising and have goals to raise financial support for the NF cause. Each walker/runner can qualify for free transportation, lodging and more for the marathon weekend by raising a certain amount in donations. In addition to raising much-needed funds for NF research and Children's Tumor Foundation programs, becoming a member or donor on the NF Marathon Team helps spread NF awareness. The NF Marathon Team Program also needs volunteers in the marathon cities to help with NF Team transport and to provide support during the marathon.
