WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
By participating in the 2022 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai, our team is making every step count toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
Cancer does not Sleep. It does not take weekends and holidays off. It is a devastating disease that has long lasting affects on patients and families that require everyone's help to eradicate. As most of you are aware, I have the Brca2 gene mutation, had Lung cancer, prostate cancer and surgeries to mitigate the spread of cancer.
This year the Damico family has 2 milestones to celebrate with respect to cancer. First, this yr marks the 3 yr point that I am cancer free! Additionally, the Brca2 gene mutation is hereditary and has a much more devastating impact on women. They can see upwards of 55-85% more likelihood of certain cancers. I am happy to report, my daughter Brittany decide to be tested and does NOT have the Brca2 gene mutation!
The Damico Family was Blessed twice this year. Please join us in supporting the continued research and advancement's in treatment going on at Dana-Farber. Your support in this walk goes directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s unique 50-50 balance between cutting-edge research and compassionate patient 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.
Thank you for supporting our team in the Jimmy Fund Walk. Together, we can defy cancer!
