3rd Annual RUN to Change Lives 500

Wed February 8 - Wed February 22

Description

🏁 The Why - Let's RACE to Beat Childhood Cancer (Produced by RUN to Change Lives)

In February we’ll continue to RUN as Heroes for childhood cancer. Pit Crew teams 🏎️   of up to 12 people combine your movement: running, walking, cycling, swimming, rowing, or elliptical miles (see conversion ratios below) to reach 500 miles in two weeks while raising funds to fight childhood cancer. Every mile we run together in February changes lives.

HOW IT WORKS

🏁 Step 1: Sign up and create your own Pit Crew team or join any existing Pit Crew team

 

🏁 Step 2: Set a personal 2 week mileage goal for February (2/8-2/22) to help your Pit Crew get to 500 miles

 

🏁 Step 3: Join the RUN to Change Lives Facebook Group and announce your mileage goal

 

🏁 Step 4: Find sponsors to pledge a per-mile dollar amount or fixed donation

There are no fundraiser minimums and every dollar helps towards finding a cure. Raise $1, $10, or more. Simply share your fundraising link to your Facebook page. 

Proceeds benefit our charity partners:
