I am posting this to find a hero to consider joining me as a race volunteer at Children's Tumor Foundation "I Know a Fight 5K" on April 21, 2018, at Franklin Park, Boston. http://www.ctf.org/get-involved/i-know-a-fighter-5k This foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit medical foundation dedicated to improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by neurofibromatosis (NF). For more information regarding NF or Children's Tumor Foundation, please visit http://www.ctf.org . This is one of ten 5K tour locations across the nation to help raise NF awareness and money for research. We could not do this alone and are asking for your help.
This is how you can help. We need friendly volunteers to help with race day check-in, bib number pick-up, on-site registration, water station, event equipment set-up and pack-up, and route officers.
I look forward hearing from you and how you can help. Thanks for your consideration!
