WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
This year has been a doozy to say the least, September of 2023, my father, Dennis Ford, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma where he underwent surgery for the removal of the cancerous tumor, followed with weeks of radiation. Since then he has shown incredible courage and resilience throughout his treatment at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Despite the challenges, he remains our source of inspiration every single day.
Dad's commitment to helping others extends far beyond his own battle. For years, he passionately organized and hosted a prestigious golf tournament, raising over $2.5 million for ovarian cancer research through the Jimmy Fund. His dedication to making a difference in the lives of others has left an indelible mark on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
This year, our family and friends have decided to participate in the Jimmy Fund Walk in honor of Dad. This event not only supports groundbreaking cancer research but also celebrates the strength of those facing cancer head-on, like Dad. Walking alongside him symbolizes our unwavering support and love during this challenging time.
As we lace up our shoes for the Jimmy Fund Walk, we invite you to join our journey and support Dad in the fight against Glioblastoma. Your contribution will fund critical research and treatments at Dana Farber, offering hope to patients and families grappling with this devastating disease.
Every step we take during the Jimmy Fund Walk is a testament to Dad's resilience and the power of community support. Together, we can continue his legacy of compassion and generosity. Thank you for standing with us as we walk for hope, healing, and a future free from cancer.
Thank you,
Team Dennis
