My personal story: In 2009, I was diagnosed with an agressive form of breast cancer, after 15 chemo treatments, 6 surgeries, too many doctor's visits to count, lots of pills & bloodwork, I am a survivor! I have too many family members and friends who have fought this battle, some have beat it, some are still fighting, and others have become guardian angels. I will not be running, that's not my thing. Instead I will be walking with one of my girls around our favorite spot, Colt State Park.
From the Institute: 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!
