Bethesda Loves Jimmy's Fundraising Page

Hello All!

Thank you for clicking through to reach our "Team" page, and by Team we mean Patty & Gina.  Please consider clicking again on the "Give To Team" button below to make a donation. 

We all have personal reasons to donate and participate in the various fundraisers that support the research, treatment and care of patients with cancer & those who love them.  Your support to the Jimmy Fund goes directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s unique 50-50 balance between cutting-edge science and highly compassionate care. Funds raised through the Jimmy Fund Walk enable Dana-Farber leaders to enhance programs and initiatives that serve pediatric and adult patients and their families.

This will be our second fundraising effort.  The first being the Komen 3-day 60mile walk 9 years ago, throughout the hot streets of DC.  We were looking forward to this walk on a crisp autumn day along the Boston Marathon route, but like so many other plans COVID stepped in and upset the applecart.  The Jimmy Fund decided to make this a "YOUR WAY" walk, canceling the Boston Marathon route walk, to allow participants to remain in their neighborhoods.  

Our training for this walk has not been optimal (and that is an understatement), but we will walk nonetheless making the Capital Crescent Trail our marathon route.  We will start at Little Falls Parkway, walk down to Georgetown, back up to downtown Bethesda, back down to Georgetown and then end at Little Falls Parkway.  That is somewhere around 26 miles, and we will hopefully be done in 13 hours.  

Thank you again for clicking through, making a donation and supporting our team in the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. Together, we can conquer cancer!

All the best!  Patty and Gina
