Year after year, a special group of determined friends and strangers alike, walk together for a common cause. Auntie Carole and Dad had a few things in common, and the Jimmy Fund was one of them. They both believed that the combination of science and love could change the world for the better, in a big way. We started our team to honor the memory of Auntie Carole, (the 'CAD' in CAD-dle Ranchers). Now we also honor our Dad. I clearly remember him saying, "...if this doesn't work for me, (referring to the trial he was on), maybe it will help somebody else someday." Another common theme in both of their lives was selflessly helping strangers. I am honored to walk again this year with both of them in my heart, along with many others. Together we will continue to make a difference.
By participating in the 2022 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai, our team is making every step count toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
