We’re filling our roster of Team U2FP racers for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, and we’d love to have you join us!

Sign up for Team U2FP and get guaranteed entry to one of the premier marathons in the country. By doing so, you’ll also help ensure that U2FP's Cure Advocacy Network (CAN), our legislative advocacy initiative, has the funds needed to be successful in 2023! 

JOIN TEAM U2FP

Our CAN advocates are making what they hope will be their final push to pass a $3M SCI Research Grant Bill in Wisconsin (they've been working for 4 years there). They were at the Capitol in Madison last week making connections with more lawmakers who are vowing to support an SCI research bill this legislative session.

This work would not be possible without our Team U2FP racers, who raise funds as they train for their races.

As a member of Team U2FP, you’ll train for your race while also spreading the word about our organization to your friends and family. Your fundraising efforts are an important part of our comprehensive strategy for expediting curative therapies for paralysis!

All Team U2FP Participants Receive:

  • A Personalized Fundraising Page
  • A Team U2FP Performance Shirt
  • A Fundraising Guide
  • Application Fee Reimbursed After the Race
