WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT 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.
Our team captain Nicole was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in November 2021. She also was found to have a CHEK2 genetic mutation that increases the risk of several cancers including breast. Through the help of Dana Farber, she was declared cancer free in May 2022. Since then she has become an oncology nurse to help others through their own battles.
Small but Mighty, was a mantra we used often to show that a small size can over come big obstacles. We walk to support others who are still fighting and to spread awareness of early screening and genetic testing.
Thank you for supporting our team in the Jimmy Fund Walk. Together, we can defy cancer!
