We are holding Run2Cure, a run through Sydney's Domain with a choice of distance from the 1km Little Heroes fun run for under 5-year olds, to the 1km, 3km, 5km or 10km timed distances. The event aims to raise funds and awareness of neuroblastoma - the leading cause of death of children under 5 and raise funds for research projects (Children's Cancer Institute Australia and Cancer Council NSW) which will help improve the outcomes and side effects of current available treatments.
The 5 year survival rate is approx 60% and one third of those who survive have long term side effects from their actual treatment due to the levels of toxicity. As neuroblastoma is rare, it attracts relatively little research funding.
Our goal is to raise $150,000 from this event to fund leading research projects into neuroblastoma childhood cancer.
The event takes place on June 4th, 2017 in Sydney's The Domain.
Prior to the event, from early November 2016 until the end of May 2017, we need 1 or 2 volunteers to help us with social media and marketing - facebook posts and creation of compelling images and content to help publicise the event. Database management and segmentation would also be very useful.
We would need around 2 hours per week / month, which can be any day / evening of the week or weekend, and we will train you fully in what we require. Whist we don't need you to be a marketing expert, some social media ability and.or basic marketing knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
