"In January 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was an overwhelming time, trying to take in the volume of information, understand our options and ensure we had the best path. That is when my family and I met the Dana-Farber team.
The team was extremely thorough, answered all our questions, comforted us and made us feel like we were the only ones there. We knew we were in the right place. Throughout my surgeries, chemo and follow-ups, the doctors, nurses and staff were always kind, calming and caring. I can't put into words the care provided - they were always there for us."
On why she runs
"Running is my way of giving back to the organization that has given so much to me, my family and my friends. It was someone's donations that led to the treatment I received, and our donations will lead to a cure for others.
I run for Ava, my Dana-Farber Patient Partner, who is five years old and undergoing treatment for lymphoblastic leukemia. She is a sweetheart - full of spunk, strong, independent and has a beautiful smile.
I run to honor the doctors, nurses and researchers who work tirelessly to find a cure.
I run in honor of those currently in treatment, those who've gone ahead of us and those who have survived. They are all in my heart on race day."
"Company matching makes a significant difference in the fundraising efforts, and it means the world to me to have the support of company matching to help us find a cure. I do believe our donations will help researchers find a cure. I couldn't have done this without the support of family and friends. Their support is humbling, and I am forever grateful."
