On Sunday, Sept. 21, the streets from Hopkinton to Boston were filled with approximately 8,000 people taking part in the 20th annual Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk, presented by Hyundai Motor America. This included 11 people who have participated in the Walk every year since it began in 1989. This year’s goal is to raise $7.2 million to Fund innovative adult and pediatric cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. During the past 19 years, walkers and their financial supporters have contributed more than $51 million to help reach the goal of a world without cancer. Walkers can still receive pledges to support their efforts, and have until November to collect and send in all of their pledges. All the participants - whether it was their 20th Walk or their first, whether they took on the entire marathon or one of the other four routes, or whether they walked in honor or in memory of loved ones affected by cancer - walked to help change the odds for those with the disease. The day began in Hopkinton with those walking the full Boston Marathon as well as those who took advantage of a new option to walk a half marathon from Hopkinton to Wellesley.

Many patients and their families walked the final three miles from the Boston start, escorted by more than 100 chiefs of police from across Mass ...
"Team Elliot" will walk on Sunday, Sept. 21, in the Jimmy Fund Walk to honor Elliot Carlin Handin, who at 3 months of age was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Infant ALL, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Elliot underwent a bone marrow transplant in September 2006, and is now an active 3-year-old toddler. His family continues to raise money for the research of Infant Leukemia so that others, hopefully, will not have to face the daunting challenges of being told their baby has a life-threatening disease, and for the families who have lost their babies to infant ALL. Infant ALL is an under-funded disease in the very early stages of research which prompted Elliot's parents to establish a Fund in his name, "Elliot's Fund." Katy Carlin, Elliot's Nana and longtime Danvers resident, invites you to join "Team Elliot," or make a donation to: "The Jimmy Fund Marathon Walk" and mail to: Katy Carlin, 94 Centre Street, Danvers, MA 01923, to support her 13.1 mile walk on Sept. 21, 2008. To join the team, www.jimmyfundwalk.org/teamelliot Then click on "join our team." There are several options for the walk: 26.2 miles, 13.1 miles, 5 miles, and 3 miles.
