The event, organized by Cupid's Charity, aimed to find a cure for neurofibromatosis (NF) and improve the lives of those affected by this condition.

Neurofibromatosis is a medical condition where tumors grow along the nerves. In an effort to raise awareness and funds for research, Drew Leathers started Cupid's Undie Run as a fun and engaging way to support the cause. Event director Kristy Nobles expressed her enthusiasm for the event's growing participation, emphasizing how it provides an enjoyable and entertaining experience for all involved.

This year's Cupid's Undie Run has been deemed the most successful fundraising venture towards the fight against NF. Despite setting a goal of $35,000, the event surpassed expectations by raising approximately $39,000. Organizers were thrilled with the outcome and are grateful for the generous contributions received.

One participant, Libby Hercules, a speech pathologist who works closely with children with disabilities and medical complications, shared her personal connection to the cause. Hercules acknowledged that the event holds profound importance both in her career and personal life, as she continues to support the noble cause each year.

Although this year's run has concluded, organizers emphasize that it is never too late to contribute. Those who missed the opportunity to donate can still contribute towards the Children's Tumor Foundation and join the event next year to show their support.

The success of the 10th annual Cupid's Undie Run reflects the unwavering commitment of participants and organizers in the fight against neurofibromatosis. Their collective efforts have not only raised significant funds but have also increased awareness and educated people about NF. With the continuous support and dedication, they hope to advance research and eventually find cures and improved treatments for this condition.

Next year promises to bring even more excitement and generosity as participants from all walks of life come together to make a difference. The 10th annual Cupid's Undie Run has proven that fun, camaraderie, and fundraising can go hand in hand in the pursuit of a better future for those affected by childhood tumors.
