Join Team CurePSP!
Team CurePSP began in 2023 with just five members running the TCS New York City Marathon. Today, it’s open to anyone participating in endurance activities of all kinds. Whether you run, cycle, swim, hike or take on any endurance challenge, we invite you to join our growing community by filling out the interest form. Put purpose behind your miles (or minutes!) by fundraising for Team CurePSP. Every dollar raised supports our mission: to raise awareness, build community, improve care and find a cure for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). As a team member, you’ll have the chance to receive:
- Personalized fundraising support
- A customizable fundraising page
- Team CurePSP swag
- Access to online communities to connect with fellow participants

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do I have to raise to be a part of Team CurePSP? Our fundraising minimums depend on the race. For 2025, the minimums are as follows: TCS New York City Marathon – $5,000; BMW Berlin Marathon – $3,500; Sydney Marathon – $3,000; United Airlines New York City Half Marathon – $1,750. When runners sign their agreement forms, they are guaranteeing that they will raise at least this amount before the set deadline. If you would like to run your own race outside of our official offerings, there is no set fundraising minimum. However, you will receive additional perks if you raise at least $250.
What if I don’t raise the minimum fundraising amount by the deadline? If this happens, you are responsible for covering the remaining amount to hit the fundraising minimum.
Do you cover travel and lodging expenses? No, we only provide the items listed under each race above. You are responsible for coordinating and paying for your own travel and lodging. We also do not provide room blocks.
How do I collect donations? Once you’re officially a part of Team CurePSP, you’ll receive instructions on how to create your customizable fundraising page using our fundraising platform, GoFundMe Pro. Your supporters will be able to donate on this page to help you reach your goal! As always, we also accept checks that are sent to our New York City office.
What if I can’t run the race anymore? The cancellation clauses differ based on the race and whether you’ve already reached your minimum fundraising amount. Your runner agreement will go over this process in detail.
