Madeleine's Fundraising Page

I am participating in the 2022 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai, taking steps toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.

On February 12, 2021 I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, stage 1, grade 3.  Breast Cancer. I was 26 years old with no family history of breast cancer so this was a shock to the system. Over the last year, I have gone through two surgeries, IVF and chemotherapy. I am now living my best cancer-free life and managing new challenges that arise from being a young survivor. I'm grateful to Dana-Farber where I received my care and excited to join other survivors and families at the Jimmy Fund Walk.

When you make a gift to my Walk, you’re directly supporting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s unique 50-50 balance between cutting-edge research and compassionate patient care. Your support allows Dana-Farber leaders to enhance programs and initiatives that serve pediatric and adult patients and their families.

Thank you for supporting my Jimmy Fund Walk fundraising efforts. Together, we can defy cancer!
