Run For Research

Since 1988, RFR has made a dramatic impact on the American Liver Foundation's mission -- to prevent, treat and cure hepatitis and other liver diseases through research, education and advocacy. Last year's team enthusiastically raised over $1.1 million. Team members receive a comprehensive training program presented by fitness professionals for runners of all levels, informative team meetings and fun social events, weekly group runs, two long runs on the marathon course, and team clothing. To help runners excel in raising funds, American Liver Foundation also provides fundraising tips, resources and supplies.
