Why Holliston Resident Bob Walks for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute: The Jimmy Fund is the primary fundraising operation for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the reality is that I would simply not be alive today without the Jimmy Fund raising donations from people like you that led to the discovery of the complex treatment plan ( a version of which you can find here) that my Care Team proposed and delivered successfully to me. You can read more about my prior walks in Milestones as well as in the Metrowest Daily News Article by Tim Dumas in 2025.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults and is home to groundbreaking cancer discoveries. Since its founding in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of community efforts to advance Dana-Farber’s lifesaving mission.
