I completed my first road race nearly 20 years ago with my dad and since then I have run more races than I can count! In November of 2024 I was lucky enough to run for Dana Farber's Boston Half Marathon team, and the day after that race I found out I was selected to be on their 2025 Boston Marathon Challenge Team! That also happened to be one year to the day that we celebrated my dad's life. He passed away in October of 2023 after a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer. His final cancer treatment was through the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. I will forever be grateful to his team and to the amazing folks who work tirelessly to help fight this awful disease. I am so incredibly excited and honored to be running this race for my dad, for a fierce little fighter Violet, and for everyone who has been impacted by cancer. I appreciate anything you are willing to contribute to my fundraising efforts, and I look forward to sharing my journey with all of you in the coming months!
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.
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.
