On August 18, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners, including myself, will participate in the 52nd running of the ASICS Falmouth Road Race! I am training to run 7-miles along Cape Cod’s scenic coastline, while raising critical funds that directly support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute patients and families, in New England and around the world.
Every mile and each donation, no matter the size, supports The Dana-Farber Campaign, the Institute’s ambitious, multi-year fundraising effort, focused on supporting revolutionary research, extraordinary care, exceptional expertise, and other priorities, to help Dana-Farber accomplish its mission of preventing, treating, and defying cancer.
Personally, many in my family have been affected by cancer. This has encouraged me to become eager in fundraising for better treatment of all cancer patients, and possibly a cure one day. In addition to this, I'm passionate in the field of medicine and hope to help these patients myself eventually!
Thank you for your support! Together, we are helping Dana-Farber race toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
