Ashley (third from left) is running the 2023 B.A.A. Half Marathon with Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund in honor of her brother (second from right in the back row with the beanie).

You’re invited! Join our presenting sponsor and exclusive charity team, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund, to race toward a cancer-free future. Use your B.A.A. race entry and join the team by committing to raise $250 in support of Dana-Farber's mission. Runners will receive access to all team benefits, including a personal fundraising page, race singlet and baseball cap, and custom training program.

Join runners like Ashley, who runs to honor her brother’s cancer journey: “Running for Dana-Farber gives me an opportunity to use a passion of mine to make a difference in the life of my brother and so many others. Dana-Farber brings my family hope through lifesaving clinical trials and has been there every step of the way to help us to navigate. After years of treatment, they treat us all like one of their own.”
