Since 2010, Cupid's Undie Run has invited people from all over to don their finest underoos and brave freezing February temps to support a worthy cause...and have a lot of fun in the process.

Just to be clear, it's ok to walk. It's also ok to wear extra clothes. No need to freeze off your fiddly bits, even in the name of charity.
Why would anyone in their right mind...?
Cupid's Undie Run is the brainchild of a group of friends looking for a way to raise money for a great cause, inspired by the struggle of a co-founder's brother. Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder that strikes one in every 3,000 births. It causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body, causing blindness, deafness, learning disabilities and severe chronic pain.
The first Cupid's Undie Run took place in 2010, and 600 people showed up. They raised $10,000 to support the cause. Scantily clad runners are about to descend en masse on 39 cities in three countries. Last year, the run raised $3.5 million. This year, they're shooting for $5 million.
All proceeds from Cupid's Undie Run and participants benefit the Children's Tumor Foundation and are tax-deductible. Learn more at www.CTF.org.
I can't think of a better way to celebrate Valentine's Day, can you?
