 Why Team for Life? Why Fundraise?
As a Team for Life member you will have the unique opportunity to participate in the SOLD OUT Big Sur International Marathon while raising funds for Lazarex Cancer Foundation, helping end stage cancer patients get a second chance at life through FDA-approved clinical trials. Lazarex Cancer Foundation reimburses patients directly for expenses incurred with participating in a clinical trial, as well as pays for a close companion to go along for moral support.
With this in mind, sometimes meeting your fundraising goal can be even more rewarding than crossing the finish line! See the recap from the 2102 Big Sur International Marathon Weekend.
What Do I Get?
All Team for Life members who meet their fundraising goal for the Big Sur International Marathonwill receive the following:
- Race registration fee paid for (Yes! We will pay your race registration fee!!)

Membership Fee?
$50 for Team for Life membership fee
(Nonrefundable, but will be credited to your fundraising webpage as your 1st donation!!)
What Do I Give?
 Each Team for Life member participating in the Big Sur International Marathon is responsible for raising a minimum of $950 (including your TFL membership fee/1st donation) by Friday, April 12, 2013 at 5pm PST.
We will provide you with your very own fundraising site and URL, which will help you spread the word and reach out to your family, friends, coworkers, etc. for their support in your fundraising efforts. Technically, if 36 people donate $25, you would be all set to run!!
But, if the $950 fundraising minimum is not met by Friday, April 12, 2013 at 5pm PST, your credit card on file will be charged the difference (to total $950).
These charges are 100% refundable if you continue to fundraise and reach the $950 minimum by Friday, May 24, 2013 at 5pm PST. Once you fulfilled your fundraising requirement, Lazarex will gladly issue a refund check for the amount charged to your credit card to meet the fundraising requirement.
