And, as my friend Terri has said, just because your friend seems to enjoy doing it and is good at it, you don’t get to opt out entirely! You should still offer to help out so they can take a break occasionally, or offer to share the work by doing something similar in scope that still needs to be done. At the absolute minimum, you can do two things for a friend who takes on the labor of showing up: 1) respect the work, and 2) honor the work.
