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.
This year I will not only be running my first Boston Marathon, but my first marathon ever! As a spectator the past three years, I have had a front row seat to the energy and camaraderie that is present in the city of Boston on Marathon Monday. It is time for me to jump the fence and join this iconic race. I will be running for my grandmas who lost their battle to cancer, those close to me who are currently fighting, and for those who will fight in the future.
Please help me reach my goal of $12,000 in support of cancer reach! Thank you for your help! Together, we're headed toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
