Hi everyone. This year on October 6th, I will be walking in my third Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. My papa walked the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund for 25 years and raised over $133,000 with his fundraising efforts. My nana is a three time cancer survivor and one of the strongest women I know. My papa has always walked in honor of her and to help defy cancer and I am so grateful to have both of them by my side for my third walk. My family and I will be walking together to continue our papas legacy. Both him and my nana will be at the finish line cheering us on and encouraging us. I couldn't be more grateful and excited for this year’s walk.
This February my nana’s breast cancer had come back. This news was completely shocking and upsetting to hear. After 24 years cancer free it had made a return. However, on April 2nd she had a successful surgery to remove the tumor and will move onto radiation within the coming weeks. The doctors were pleased with how she did and were very pleased with the results and success of surgery. This year’s walk means more than anything to me and is extra special. I’ve truly witnessed my nana be a fighter and a kick ass woman all around. I am forever grateful to have her in my life and am in awe of her strength and positive energy.
Any donations are greatly appreciated and help me towards reaching my fundraising goal. Thank you!
Thank you for supporting my Jimmy Fund Walk fundraising efforts. Together, we can defy cancer!
