The Max Cure Foundation is seeking about 10 volunteers to distribute water to the runners at the Hamptons Marathon and encourage them to donate their shoes to our Dunk Your Kicks Campaign.
The Max Cure Foundation helps fund research for pediatric cancer and also donates money to the families of children with cancer. For each pair of sneakers you collect, Max Cure will receive a donation of up to $1.00.
Your efforts as volunteers are crucial to our success, and without you, we could not continue to make such progress in our battle against pediatric cancer.
Please let us know if you're interested; we would greatly appreciate any help you could give!

Description
On May 2, 2007 - one day before his 4th birthday - Max Plotkin was diagnosed with a rare form of B-Cell Lymphoma in the bone. Max’s doctors pursued a range of aggressive treatments. Max faced each treatment with amazing courage, and to help him to be brave, Max brought his favorite stuffed lion to his cancer treatments.
Just as Max symbolizes courage and bravery in the face of adversity to those who know him personally, the Foundation’s logo, Lion Max, and its public message and mantra, Be Brave, symbolize these virtues.
Thankfully, Max , now 10-years-old, responded well to his treatments. Now in remission, he is doing his best to overcome the side-effects of chemotherapy and to enjoy childhood.
Compelled to help other children and families battling pediatric cancer, the Plotkin family formed The Max Cure Foundation for Pediatric Cancer Causes.
