Hero Program
The Hero Program is the heart of the Jimmy Fund Walk! Jimmy Fund Walk Heroes are Dana-Farber Cancer Institute patients who volunteer to share their stories and inspire walkers to walk and raise critical funds for cancer research and patient care.
If you are interested in being a 2024 Jimmy Fund Walk Hero or Hero Match Team, please email us.
FEATURED JIMMY FUND WALK HERO
Justyna is a 2024 Jimmy Fund Walk Hero.
“Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund is my life preserver in the rough seas of cancer. Although I’m on long-term disability now from my airline job as a pilot, I’m grateful for simply being alive and present. At Dana-Farber, I’m Justyna first, and a cancer patient second. While my team works hard, I do my best to stay positive and laser focused on the future and beating glioblastoma. I AM JIMMY!”
