WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Emerson Sherry, has been diagnosed with (LFS) Li-Fraumeni syndrome which is a hereditary condition often associated with a mutation in the TP53 gene. The body can't fight off cancer cells as at 7 months she was diagnosed with adrenal cancer which they surgically removed. Brain tumor was next. Emme was diagnosed with chord plexus carcinoma after countless cycles of many drugs we didn't receive the news we'd hoped to hear. Currently Emme is in outpatient treatment at the Jimmy Fund. We need to get this 3 year old on the playground and out of the hospital for good and that's why I am participating for Emme, my wondergirl granddaughter and for many friends struggling with cancer! By participating in the 2023 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai, our team is making every step count toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
Your support 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!
