We're ready to cheer on thousands of TCS NYC Marathon runners as they wind through the five boroughs. Crossing the finish line is exhilarating, but you will make it even more rewarding by supporting Team Lustgarten and helping transform pancreatic cancer into a curable disease.
We know #TimeIsEverything for patients and families facing a pancreatic cancer diagnosis, and research is the only way to improve outcomes and to save lives. For each of your 26.2 miles on race day, you’ll be running for the 170 Americans diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every day.
As a member or supporter of Team Lustgarten we hope you will wear purple and raise funds to help cure pancreatic cancer! You can even use your training runs to encourage family and friends to donate to give patients many more tomorrows!
Remember, 100% of fundraising and donations fund lifesaving pancreatic cancer research.
Let us give hope, together, and show the world the power of PURPLE! We’ll be cheering for you the entire way!
Team Lustgarten runners must commit to a fundraising minimum of $6,000. When you run with the Lustgarten team you will receive:
- Link and instructions for required NYRR discounted registration as a Charity Runner
- Your own fundraising web page
- Fundraising tools to meet your goal
- Team gear, including a shirt
All your fundraising effort will support critical pancreatic research that will transform this disease and give hope to the global community it touches.
