Free training, events and activites related to our Walk team are covered in full by the generous donations of time, energy and gifts from the core harmony™ community & local businesses.

The Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk

JOIN OUR TEAM!

This year's Walk is Sunday September 9th, 2012!

The Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk is a one day event dedicated to conquering all forms of cancer. With four routes to choose from that range from the full Boston Marathon® course to a 3-mile option, it’s a great event for the whole family. Since the first Walk in 1989, participants have raised close to $80 million to support cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

2012 will be the fouth year Team core harmony™ will be participating in the Walk. In 2011, our 10 person team raised $6198.00! Highlights of 2011 included our first Virtual Walker - from Vancouver, BC and two terrific children - ages 1 and 9. It was a great summer of training together and we were blessed with perfect weather on Walk Day. Our walkers started from a varitey of start lines and 2 walkers reached the star Pacesetter fundraising level.

This year we hope to have 15 Walkers and fundraise $10,000. There are a variety of ways to participate on our team - as a Walker, Virtual Walker (if you cannot walk or will be out of the area on Walk Day) or as a Volunteer. We welcome team members of all ages & from all geographic locations!

2012 Walk Routes:

Hopkinton to Boston: 26.2 miles. Babson College to Boston: 13.1 miles. Boston College: 5 miles. Dana-Farber: 3 miles.
