Register for the 2020 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk: Your Way presented by Hyundai. This year, the Jimmy Fund Walk will be a virtual event in an effort to ensure the safety of everyone in the community. Participants will be encouraged to "Walk Your Way" from wherever they are most comfortable—whether that be from their neighborhood, favorite trail, or from a treadmill in their own home on Sunday, October 4th.
While the event will not physically bring walkers together along the famed Boston Marathon® course, it will continue to unite the community to raise funds to support all forms of adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at the nation's premier cancer center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
This year's event will have a lower fundraising requirement ($100 for adults and $25 for those 12 years old and younger) and the registration fee is just $5. Each walker who registers will receive a bib, and medal and the first 5,000 walkers to register will receive a commemorative Jimmy Fund Walk T-shirt.
Cancer care and research does not rest and with many events postponed or cancelled, the support of dedicated walkers is needed now more than ever. Please register today and the Walk staff can help you get your fundraising started.
Anyone interested in additional information can reference the Jimmy Fund Walk: Your Way frequently asked questions or can send an email to [email protected]. The Jimmy Fund Walk has raised more than $145 million for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in its 30+ year history. Funds raised from the Jimmy Fund Walk support all forms of adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at the nation's premier cancer center, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The Boston Athletic Association has supported the Jimmy Fund Walk since 1989, and Hyundai has been the presenting sponsor since 2002.
