I'm so excited - and equally terrified!- to be running the 128th Boston Marathon®! In 2024, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners will take to the streets to participate and I am honored to be one of them!
I've been a nurse practitioner in the Jimmy Fund Clinic at the Dana-Farber for 4 years and I feel so very thankful to be a part of this community. I'm running the marathon in honor of the kids, adolescents and young adults who I care for at the Jimmy Fund every day. For me, running the Boston Marathon on the Dana-Farber team is an extension of this amazing community.
Everyday I witness the strength, resilience and grace with which my patients and their families navigate their cancer diagnoses. I hope to carry this spirit with me from Hopkinton to Boston.
One hundred percent of every dollar raised by the DFMC team supports the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. These funds are fueling some of today's most promising cancer research. I have the privilege of witnessing how this research translates to direct patient care each and every day.
Thank you - friends and family - for considering a contribution to Dana-Farber. Your gift will support my goal to complete the Boston Marathon and to help all of us reach the ultimate goal: a world without cancer. I cannot thank you enough for your support!!
Stay tuned!
With love and thanks,
Sarah
