New York, Chicago, Tokyo, Berlin, London, and now... Boston.
After 157.2 miles of racing and, after nearly a decade, forty times that amount in training, the 128th Boston Marathon will mark my sixth and final Abbott World Marathon Major.
I am thrilled to complete this accomplishment close to home and, with your help, I just might get there!
In honor of those miles, I've kicked things off with a donation of $157.20. Please consider assisting with my fundraising efforts, which support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Be it $1, $20, or whatever else you can spare, I am truly grateful for your support. And, hey, if it works for public radio it can work for me... at the end of each week, I will match your donations, up to Team Honda's individual goal.
WHY I'M RUNNING WITH DANA-FARBER TO DEFY CANCER
Dana-Farber runners set the pace in the fight against cancer by raising funds to support groundbreaking research and extraordinary patient care. Thanks to your support, Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund continue to race toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
Every mile and each donation make a powerful difference because it's not a single act—it's part of a movement of an entire community of supporters. Everyone in this community is an important partner in The Dana-Farber Campaign, the Institute's ambitious, multi-year fundraising effort to prevent, treat, and defy cancer. The Dana-Farber Campaign will accelerate the Institute's strategic priorities by supporting revolutionary science, extraordinary care, and exceptional expertise.
Each donation during The Dana-Farber Campaign, no matter the size, adds up to provide patients with compassionate, personalized care and keeps Dana-Farber at the forefront of cancer medicine. When you support my efforts, you are a part of this transformative effort.
As a community, we have the power to create a more hopeful, cancer-free future, in Boston and around the world. I ask you to join me in my unwavering determination to this vital time in cancer care and research.
Thank you for your support!
