On August 18, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners, including myself, will participate in the 52nd running of the ASICS Falmouth Road Race, 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.
A lot of people have battled cancer themselves, or alongside a loved one, and here are my reasons why I'm running and fundraising for Dana Farber.
This run is in memory of my cousin Katelynn, my beloved friend Steve, and our brother in arms in the fight against cancer, Mike Bergeron.
I will run in honor of my Uncle Bobby and my Uncle Rudy who are fighting their own battles.
Thank you for your support! Together, we are helping Dana-Farber race toward the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
