Jimmy Fund Walk Draws 33 Wellesley Walkers

Thirty-three Wellesley residents will be among the nearly 8,000 people walking through Wellesley in the 22^nd annual Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk Sept. 12.

Each walker is seeking to raise money to support adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. "We are grateful to the thousands of determined walkers who are committed to raising funds for cancer care and research," says Ann Beach, director of the Boston Marathon^® Jimmy Fund Walk. "The money raised by the walkers directly benefits local patients as well as people around the world as top doctors and researchers utilize the successes achieved at Dana-Farber."

Walkers choose to walk one of four routes: the entire 26.2-mile route, the Babson to Boston 13.1-mile route starting at Babson College, the Boston College 5-mile route, or the 3-mile route with patients and their families starting at the Dana-Farber campus. For those unable to participate on Walk day itself, there is a virtual walk option, allowing participants to fundraise online.
