2012 Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge

Last April I ran my fourth Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge. In the past four years, you have helped me raise nearly $21,000! 
I cannot thank you enough for your support!
Next April I will run my fifth Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge. My goal is to raise $7,000 and to run sub 2:55. I am honored and thrilled to be part of the twenty-third annual DFMC.
This year, my teammates and I hope to raise $4.8 million for the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Cancer Research. One hundred percent of every dollar donated will fund innovative cancer research. The Barr Program has had a tremendous impact on not only cancer research but also the scientists receiving funds. The Barr Program provides seed money to young investigators with unique and promising ideas. Indeed, scientists who begin pioneering research with Barr Program funds are almost all successful in securing future grants from other sources (generally the NIH) to continue their work. Thus funds raised each year can be used to support new projects.
Every donation makes a difference. To make a donation, please see my official DFMC page.
Thank you so much for your generosity!
