Can my registration be transfered to another person or refunded?

Is fundraising required?
Breakthrough for Brain Tumors is a fundraising event. While your registration fee gets you to the starting line, it’s the fundraising that will support American Brain Tumor Association's comprehensive network of patient support services and honor its commitment to fund critical brain tumor research. Many participants start by setting a fundraising goal and follow up by making a self-donation of $35.
