Three From Weymouth to Run Boston Marathon for Dana-Farber

Three Weymouth residents will tackle the Boston Marathon as part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge Team.

Residents Timothy Campbell, Stephen Glavin, and Jennifer O’Malley will join the institute’s 26th marathon team, running to raise money for cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Running with charity bids, the runners must raise $4,000 if they received their entry from Dana-Farber and $3,500 if they joined the team after obtaining their own race entry.

This year, the team hopes to raise $5.2 million.
