The NF Network has been working since 1988 to end the disease.

Cost is $25 for adults, $12 for children age 4 to 10, and $6 for children age 3 and younger. Individuals who raise $100 will earn free registration.

Register by May 26 to guarantee a free event T-shirt. Participants can walk as an individual or join a team.

Business contributions such as event supplies, raffle items or sponsorships are being sought. Contact Yvonne Glass by calling 630-510-1115 or emailing yglass@nfnetwork.org.
