The MN Endurance Team would like to thank everyone that came out this year and supported the Children's Tumor Foundation by wearing a singlet during your race, t-shirt to cheer or volunteer, or to the many that joined Team Connor, Team Henry, Team Theo, Team Lease, or fundraised individually. We are so grateful for all the support we received this year. We cannot raise awareness, find treatments, or a cure with out your help.
As of Oct. 1st, the MN Chapter has raised close to $40,000 and there is still more $$$ coming in.

Volunteer Opportunities
Hello!
I want to thank those that have offered their time to support our cause at the TC Marathon Expo booth. We still have some slots to fill;
Friday evening: 4-8pm (1 person)
Saturday: 1-4:30 (2 persons)
If you would like to help out, please email me and I will followup with all the details. Please feel free to pass this request on to any friends, family, neighbors that would like to support our chapter. Donation of time from people is just as valuable as $$. Public awareness of CTF and NF will lead us to more support in our efforts to find the cure. Every little bit of time, effort and $$ will get us to our goal.
Thanks again! Hope all is well!
