Jimmy Fund Walk

Join us as we walk toward a world where all cancers are treatable. Every fall, thousands take to the historic Boston Marathon® course to participate in the largest single-day walk fundraiser in the nation and support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s lifesaving mission. Since 1989, the Jimmy Fund Walk has raised more than $185 million for adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber.
