FEATURED JIMMY FUND WALK VOLUNTEER

Patrick is a Site Captain at the Wellesley Half Marathon start.

“I have been a cancer patient and a volunteer for Dana-Farber for the past 15 years. When I was first diagnosed, volunteering with Dana-Farber helped me get through it. The excitement and encouragement of all who donated their time towards raising money was uplifting. Many participants are cancer patients themselves. What I received from walkers during the Jimmy Fund Walk was so much more than I gave. It inspires me to keep fighting.”
