WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Team Lynch Syndrome returns to the Jimmy Fund Walk for the 12th year!
Formerly "Team Sandi", Team Lynch Syndrome is the Lynch Syndrome Center's Jimmy Fund Walk Team. The team was founded to honor Sandi Braune, a patient of Dr. Sapna Syngal's, who passed away from colon cancer in 2003, shortly after discovering she had Lynch syndrome.
What is Lynch syndrome?
Lynch syndrome is a common and often under-diagnosed inherited condition that increases one's risk for a variety of cancers: including colon, rectal, uterine, ovarian, urinary tract and other malignancies. An estimated 1 in 300 people in the US have Lynch syndrome and most people are unaware of their condition.
Since 2013, Team Lynch Syndrome has raised over $250,000 for Lynch syndrome awareness and research at Dana-Farber. One hundred percent of the proceeds raised by our team directly support.
Thank you for supporting Team Lynch Syndrome!
