This year, the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation has an opportunity to staff the water stop at Mile 19 of the New York City Marathon. This is an official water stop of the marathon and is a tremendous opportunity to raise awareness of our cause at such a world-famous event. This event features over 50,000 runners, and over 2 million spectators.
The marathon will take place on Sunday, November 2, and the volunteers are expected to be there between the hours of 7:30 AM – 3:30 PM.
Due to planning and security concerns, all interested volunteers must register online by September 30, 2014. No walk-ups are allowed.
If you are unable to volunteer, but still wish to participate in this event, you can give to the NYC Marathon water stop fundraising page curemeso.org/fundraising/nycmarathon.
The registration process outlined below requires several steps, so if you need help registering, please contact [email protected].
