Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a debilitating genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow randomly throughout the body on the nerve sheaths. NF occurs in more than one in 3,000 births – more than Cystic Fibrosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Huntington’s Disease combined.

Fortunately, there now is a way you can help alleviate the suffering…simply by running or walking in a marathon or half marathon to help raise money for NF research and services. Here’s how it works: Once you have registered on our website to run the 2010 RNR Arizona Marathon or Half Marathon, you can then create a personal fundraising web page. Then you ask for donations from family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc. Don’t worry! It’s not as difficult as you think. In fact, we’ll give you the tools you’ll need to raise the money.

Through this site, you have the option of fundraising individually or starting or joining a team. The NF Endurance Team is committed to raising funds and awareness so one day there will be a cure for NF! Help us get there. Mile by mile, step by step, you’ll be enabling the life-saving mission on the Children’s Tumor Foundation, while meeting new friends and experiencing something you’ll never forget. Please visit our website at www.ctf.org/endurance or email nfendurancectf.org for further details.

We are a charity partner with the Arizona Rock N Roll. We will register any runner who will commit to fundraising a minimum of $600 for this event. If you cannot commit to the fundraising minimum, we ask that you go to the Arizona Rock N Roll Marathon website and register yourself for this event.
