On April 21, 2025, I will be running the Boston Marathon (again!) for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. As some of you may know, I have been an active supporter of Dana Farber since I was 15 years old when I first began volunteering for the Pan Mass Challenge in honor of my Nana. My Nana was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer when I was an infant and through advancements in treatment lived until I was twelve years old.  

While I have lost many people to cancer, I have seen the successes in medical treatment helpvarious family members and close friends who are in remission or cancer-free. I am running for Dana Farber to help continue their mission and I will carry with me the names of every fighter that I know.  

In 2025, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners (including me!) will take to the streets to participate in the 129th Boston Marathon®. The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team runs and raises funds with thousands of special people in mind. From Hopkinton to Boston, we carry thoughts of those people every step of the way. 
  
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 basic cancer research. 
  
Thank you for your support! Together, we're headed toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
