Hello everyone,
It's Cami and Chloe Blount!
We are looking for you to help us raise money to support cancer research. Our sixth annual Run for Research Fundraiser will be held on Saturday February 24th at Okemo Mountain. Runs for Research is a fundraiser for cancer research that we started 7 years ago when our teacher died from cancer. Since then, we've lost more family and friends to this horrible disease and even today many people around all of us fight hard against cancer and sometimes cancer wins. We want to help make this stop.
We organize this fundraiser every year to make money and donate it to the Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber to help find a cure for cancer. This past year, my sister Chloe was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and we have decided to include fundraising for diabetes research for the American Diabetes Association as well as fundraising for cancer research for the Jimmy Fund / Dana Farber as part of our Annual Runs 4 Research Fundraiser.
If you haven't heard of R4R before, we invite people to ski and snowboard on the NASTAR course on the Bull Run trail at Okemo Mountain from 10am - 2pm. The goal is to take as many runs as you are able during this time and the person who takes the most runs will be the R4R Alpine Race Champion. Anyone can participate in this event, whether you are a beginner or a high-level skier, R4R is open to all.
Don't ski or snowboard. No problem! You can still participate by donating directly to our fundraiser page (see below) or sponsor one of us for the day. $1, $5, $10, $20 per run or whatever amount you can, just participate! (Last year, the 2023 R4R Alpine Race Champion logged 18 runs!)
Join us on the slopes or donate to this important fundraiser to support cancer and diabetes research.

Thank you and have a great day!
