This April, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners 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.
It has been absolute privilege to care for people at the most vulnerable time of their lives as they receive a cancer diagnosis as a nurse practitioner, but also as a friend, niece, granddaughter, colleague. I have lost many close family members, friends, and colleagues to cancer. This fuels my motivation to take every step every day to contribute to DFCI's core mission, to cure cancer.
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. Transformative therapies I have seen change the field of cancer care and I want to continue supporting this progress.
Thank you for your support! Together, we're headed toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
