Not into running but want to fundraise?
You can do that, too! Ain’t no shame in participating from your couch.
Non-runner fundraisers can help by spreading the word and helping us reach our goal for the 2024 race. You’ll get your own Fundraising page, just like runners, and will show up in the “Fundraisers” tab on the main Friends For Life registration page.
IMPORTANT! This option does NOT register you for the race!
Use the links under the FFR/HERO section above if you want to register.
