We are looking for people to join the NF Endurance Team at the Little Rock marathon.
There are three ways to get involved. We hope you will join us by selecting the one that fits your needs the best.
1 – Sign UP to run/walk as part of the NF Endurance Team
NF Endurance Team runners provide a critical need to raise awareness and/or financial support for Neurofibromatosis Research. Anyone who is registered for one of the events can run for NF (as of Jan 3 there are only entries left in the 5k and 10k). Simply register for the team and set your fund raising goal. If you want to run to raise awareness and are not able to raise money for NF, register for the team and include a $25 donation to cover the cost of your singlet and team benefits (listed below). If you do not need a singlet, simply sign up and indicate you do not need a singlet and that’s it!!!
Please contact our team captain, Pete Tanguay at 501-908-3876 or by email if you have any questions or need help getting signed up.
2 – Support a Runner/ Walker
Sponsorship at any level makes a huge difference. Few will give much and many will give a little as we strive to reach our goal. Consider supporting a runner/walker through a tax deductible donation. You will make a difference.
To support someone on the NF Endurance Team, go to the team website and select (or search for) one of the runners/walkers and sponsor them through their online fundraising page. If you don’t have someone specific you’d like to support, click here to support our captain, Pete Tanguay.
3 – Volunteer / Cheer support on Race Day
There are many opportunities to join the team as a volunteer or cheer support person. Contact our Chapter President, Lesley Oslica at 501-920-5588 or by email for more information and to find the perfect way for you to help the team.
Why should you join our team?
“Joining the NF Endurance Team and running for a reason has brought new meaning to my running experience. Our $20,000 goal for the 2012 Little Rock marathon will go directly to fund research to help solve the NF puzzle and will make a difference in the lives of the families living with Neurofibromatosis. Whether you are signed up to run the race, support financially or volunteer to help and cheer on the runners, you’ll have a great time and you will make a difference.”
Pete Tanguay, 2012 Team Captain
In return for making a difference in the lives of others, the NF Endurance Team is committed to making a difference in your Little Rock marathon experience:

- No question, the best cheer support on the course!
