Andover Woman Runs to Support Cancer Research

Submitted by the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

On Aug.17, Deborah Enegess from Andover runs the 42nd annual New Balance Falmouth Road Race to help conquer cancer as a member of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s team.

Enegess, along with more than 225 Dana-Farber teammates from New England and beyond, will cover the seven-mile race course with a goal to raise $700,000 to support adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber. In 2014, the Dana-Farber team celebrates its 12th year of participation in the race’s Numbers for Nonprofits program.

Each Dana-Farber team member commits to raise or contribute at least $1,250. The team this year is striving to generate an average of $3,100 per runner. One-hundred-percent of funds raised go to the Jimmy Fund (www.JimmyFund.org), which solely supports Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, raising funds for adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research to improve the chances of survival for cancer patients around the world.
