Charity Challenge 2025

Join Team TFBC and Make a Difference

We’re thrilled to invite BC families to participate in the Charity Challenge this June!

Join Team TFBC for our in-person run/walk on Sunday, June 22, or participate virtually from anywhere throughout the month of June.

This marks our 12th year of bringing the NF community together for this inspiring event. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking to get moving for a great cause, we’d love for you to join us! By participating, you’ll help raise funds and awareness for individuals and families affected by neurofibromatosis (NF). Every dollar supports vital initiatives like the NF Health Line and education programs across BC.
