Running Boston is a dream for the two of us. Not sure either of us ever really thought we would run any marathon, let alone run one together. However, this year has brought us together in location and intention and we are grateful. In August, we lost our mom/grandma Peg to a very aggressive renal cancer after she had already survived breast cancer twice due to successful treatment at Dana Farber.
On April 15th, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners will take to the streets to participate in the 128th Boston Marathon®. The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team runs and raises funds with thousands of special people in mind. From Hopkinton to Boston, we carry thoughts of those people every step of the way.
One hundred percent of every dollar raised by the DFMC team supports the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. These funds are fueling some of today's most promising basic cancer research.
Thank you for your support! Together, we're headed toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer. Mom/Grandma Peg would be so proud of us!!
