WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
In December 2020, my mom Michelle was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer; one month later, they also found stage 3 endometrial cancer. Thanks to the care team at Dana Farber, she finished 2.5 yrs of chemo, radiation, and surgeries this past July — and both cancers are in remission!
My mom is the strongest, most resilient woman I know. Since the day she was diagnosed, she has been determined to run the Boston Marathon for Dana-Farber. She is my biggest inspiration so I am thrilled to run Boston with her in April.
The care she received at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute was nothing short of incredible. 100% of every dollar we raise will support the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber, where incredible breakthroughs are helping cancer patients worldwide get more time.
Our fundraising goal feels scary, but cancer is scarier—we want to beat both! No donation is too small. Every dollar makes a difference and we can't thank you enough.
**NOTE** It’s easy to double your gift supporting us! Many employers will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Email your HR dept or search here.
