This April, hundreds of Dana-Farber runners will take to the streets to participate in the 129th 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.
Dana-Farber has saved and extended the lives of many friends and family who I love dearly. I am running this race in honor of those fighting brave battles - Laura, Kathleen, Sue, Ally, Ann, Aaron, and Walter and for those who have lost their battles, especially my incredible mother-in-law Kathy. Both my maternal grandmother, Sarah, and my Mom, Carol, survived cancer.
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. Imagine that world - I believe that is possible through Dana-Farber and their mission.
