CBTF Endurance Team – Children's Brain Tumor Foundation

CBTF Endurance Team

Every year, a select team of dedicated runners from across the country race in the Bank of America Chicago Marathon and the TCS New York City Marathon in support of the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation. These runners exemplify what it means to be a supporter, promoter and friend of the CBTF community by taking on the challenge of running a marathon and raising vital funds in support of our families and programs.

Thanks to our 2024 Endurance Team runners and supporters, we raised over $160,000 that will directly benefit CBTF’s family programming and fund research for a cure.
