Last night, I went to the check presentation of the 2014 Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team. It was a wonderful time to see old friends on the team and to meet new people. On the team, we had 750 runners. The grand total amount that all of the 2014 runners fundraised was $8,263,208.05. As a runner on the team, I fundraised $14,500. I couldn’t have fundraised this amount with your help and support. Thank you. To receive the check, there was a researcher from the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research which is wonderful to see that this money is going directly to find a cure for cancer.

As a special treat, team members got the opportunity to take a picture with the three Boston Red Sox World Series trophies. This was a great way to celebrate our accomplishments.
