I am participating in the 2023 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai, taking steps toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
Most of you know that in 2008 I was diagnosed with cervical cancer where the cells were doubling AND eating healthy cells at a rate that would have immediately become stage 4. My OB/GYN Dr. Rufleth knew the only place I should be was Dana Farber. Upon meeting Dr. Muto and his team I was made to feel confident and secure. I am LIVING PROOF that the work at Dana Farber saves lives.
My team does not walk every year, but this year, with a new hip and the 15 year milestone, I knew it was time to get back on the path to help raise money for this incredible institute. This year I walk for Jude and Hays, at ages 3 and 87, they are also living proof. I also walk to honor the memories of Joanie, Ann, Oscar, and Olivia. May these angels know they are alive in our hearts always.
Thank you for supporting my Jimmy Fund Walk fundraising efforts. Together, we can defy cancer!
