Why do we run?

It's quite simple, actually.  There are children out there suffering from a debilitating genetic disease called neurofibromatosis (NF).  NF causes tumor to grow all over the nervous system and can cause blindness, deafness, learning disabilities and severe chronic pain.  If these children can be so brave as to deal with the cards they have been dealt, then the least we can do is face our owns fears in a manner that raises funds to help find them a cure.

We're running for the Children's Tumor Foundation (CTF), the world's largest non-government organization dedicated to ending NF through research. Currently, there is no cure for NF and there are frighteningly few treatment options, but with the $75,000 Cupid's Undie Run has raised for CTF to date we are getting close.

Here's a quick look at the personal story that led us to create Cupid's Undie Run:


...and then there's Jesse, a young boy from Cincinnati whose family we came to know very well.  We knew we had to spread the word across the nation, so we've done exactly that in 2012.  Here is Jesse's touching story:


But it's not just Jesse in Cincinnati. There is Ashley in Seattle, Drew in Atlanta, Meghan in DC... and so many other brave souls fighting NF that need your help. Please do what you can to help today. We sincerely appreciate your donation.
