Strip, run and drink. More than 400 people took to the snow-filled sidewalks of D.C. to sport their Valentine’s day underwear for the first annual Cupid’s Undie Run. The 1.75 mile love run, organized by Chad Leathers, Brendan Hanrahan, Bobby Gill and Lauren Hunt, generated more than $12,000 for the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Participants gathered at the Pour House to warm up from the cold and snow with tasty refreshments. “Cupid’s Undie Run was an amazing opportunity to reach outside the NF community and bring much needed exposure about NF and the Children’s Tumor Foundation,” said Chad Leathers. “It is something no one will forget, and we are already planning for next year!”
Brrr…that looked cold, but also looked like a lot of fun! What a great way to keep it (solving the NF puzzle) fresh.
