The record setting total for DFMC 2010 was announced today. Thanks to everyone who supported our team.
With the record setting closing of registration for Boston qualifiers for the 2011 Boston Marathon on Monday there has been some internet chatter putting down the charity program. I can't think of a more fitting response than the photo of that final check to the Barr Program. The money the team raised with the support of our friends, family, and colleagues will keep talented researchers funded so that they may continue their search for clues that will bring us toward the ultimate finish line, a world without cancer. If can't think of a better reason to run from Hopkinton to Boston.
If you are a Boston qualifier and were shut out Monday, please consider it an opportunity to apply for one of the wonderful charity program bibs for the cause the speaks the most to you, your friends, and family. I can't think of a better way to honor your BQ achievement. If you choose DFMC, the honor comes complete with what feels like your own personal cheering squad.: "Go Dana Fahbah!"
Got the email and was so psyched to see the ##'s pulled in!! You doing 2011? If so, see you there!
ReplyDeleteYes Helen, I'm in for 2011 too. Hopefully we'll get a chance to talk in person this year. Totally missed you at the medical table last year!
