FEATURED JIMMY FUND WALK VOLUNTEER

Tim was a Site Captain at Dana-Farber’s 5K Start in 2023.

“My daughter, Sarah, was diagnosed with colon cancer at 32 years old. Thanks to the innovative treatment Sarah received at Dana-Farber, she's now 5 years cancer free! I wanted to do more to help others and pay it forward. Volunteering for the Walk has been so rewarding. It's such a fun day. The walkers truly appreciate the support and encouragement. This year, I'm excited to be joining some friends working the Lunch Stop.”
