CTF of Arkansas is so excited to be participating in the Little Rock Marathon in March 4, 2012! We have several NF families and friends who are eager to participate, and we’d like to encourage you to join our team.
There are several ways you, too, can participate in this event – as NF Endurance Team runners, walkers, and cheer supporters along the course of the marathon. All of these areas are very important to our Marathon Team. We understand that not everyone is a marathon runner. However, having enthusiastic people on the sidelines cheering us on as we go by gives us the motivation to continue running.
Our primary goal is to raise money for NF research. However, we also want to bring awareness to a condition that has impacted our lives. If you would like to help us raise money for research, then you can also join the team as fundraisers. Any area of participation is important to this cause and to our CTF of AR Marathon Team.
Here are a few marathon-related events that we are very excited about. We’re still trying to verify all of the details, and we will post the most recent information as soon as it’s available to us.
Team Pasta Party – Night before the marathon to meet and greet runners, walkers, and cheer supporters. Everyone is invited to attend.
Marathon Celebration – At the end of the marathon at the NF Team tent where we will cook burgers and hot dogs with all the trimmings.
