Congratulations—you have been accepted into the 2014 DFMC Patient Partner Program! Thank you for your thoughtful and enthusiastic application. It was so great to read all of your stories, and I hope that your DFMC season will be enriched by this experience. It is a wonderful and inspirational component of DFMC, and one that I am so excited to welcome you to this season.
I will find out sometime soon who my partner is! I will keep everyone posted once I found out!
A little bit about the program:
The Patient Partner Program
The DFMC Patient Partner Program pairs DFMC runners with children currently or previously treated at Dana-Farber’s world-renowned Jimmy Fund Clinic. It gives runners an opportunity to get to know their partner and to better understand the affects that cancer has on patients and their families. Patient partners range in age from about five years old to their late teens, and all of them have a special story to share.
