When I completed the NYC Marathon I took a very brief moment to reflect what was next...Ran Chicago, Miami, Detroit, NYC, Marine Corps...The premier event was left. But I was 28 minutes shy of qualifying for my age group. But those that know me know I don't take no for an answer very easily. I applied late (very late) to be a part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge (DFMC) Team for Boston.
I didn't know what to expect. I've been very successful in raising money for my cause. But wasn't sure
if the Dana-Farber team would want me this late in the game...BUT THEY DID!! And together we fight for to cross the ultimate finish line - a world without cancer.So I have 4 months to train and to raise $5,000. The DFMC raises funds for the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at Dana-Farber. Established by J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver in 1987, the Claudia Adams Barr Program fosters scientific breakthroughs by advancing the work of gifted researchers in a variety of basic research disciplines. The DFMC directs 100% of funds raised to the Barr Program, which enables scientists at the leading edge of discovery to achieve better cure rates and to enhance patients' quality of life.
I hope you will support my challenge by giving a gift to my run and, in doing so, help bring an end to the challenge of cancer.
