Lisa
As an Event Volunteer, I’ve proudly supported the Be Happy Race for the past five years. Volunteering with Lindsay’s Legacy Foundation has been an absolute joy, not just because of the fulfilling work, but also because I’ve forged deep, lasting friendships along the way.
We truly value any time you can dedicate to us, whether it’s a few hours or the entire morning. Your support, no matter the duration, significantly impacts both the event and our efforts to fund life-saving cancer research. Please inform the race director of your availability and we’ll ensure the role fits your schedule. Volunteers are needed for setup and teardown, so don’t fret if you can’t stay until noon.
Of course you can! Please do not register online. Instead, you’ll need to complete a paper form and have it signed by a parent or guardian. You can do this by emailing [email protected] Please include your name, age and which area you want to volunteer at. If you are under 16 you will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian on the day.
