Benefit Nite For Cancer Research March 23rd!

Local Friends! I’m once again hosting a benefit night at Flatbreads in Portsmouth, NH. Come in or take out pizza on Wednesday night, 3/23 to benefit Jenn’s Boston Run for cancer research. A portion of every pizza sold Wednesday night will go to the charity. We will be hosting a raffle as well. Stop by or reach out to support.

Far Away Friends! You can also directly donate any amount at www.jennsbostonrun4dana.com to support my Boston Marathon run.

50/50 Raffle Coming soon.
I’ll be hosting a 50/50 VIRTUAL raffle next week and through Wednesday night. More details to follow and you can buy tickets in person or online!

This banner has withstood the test of time. Flatbreads has a rustic feel and they require a hand-made banner to hang in the restaurant for the week before the benefit night every Wednesday. Luckily I kept the banner from 2015 and the kids helped me re-paint it and refresh the paint on the panda! (my daughters favorite animal growing up)

Thank you,

-Jenn

I’m Running Boston 2022 with Dana-Farber!

I’m back baby! I am running the 2022 Boston Marathon for Dana-Farber on April 18th, 2022!  I am so excited and honored to have been selected by DFMC to run Boston and support vital cancer research through the Claudia Adams Barr Program.  You can find out more about the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge at www.rundfmc.org

Wow, where to begin. 2020 was to be my running ‘comeback year’, we all know how that turned out thanks to the pandemic! I did manage to run some races and continued to work on my running and Peloton obsession (more on that later). Last year, I ran a few more local races and the 2021 Chicago Marathon – in person! It was so great to be back racing IRL and ending the year on a high note!

Heading into 2022, I decided to “re-up” with Dana-Farber for a few reasons.  I’m so inspired by several women I’ve met in the last year who are in treatment for cancer and sharing their stories.  Runners, moms, friends, all going through treatment with incredible grace and strength.  I’m dedicating my marathon in 2022 to Jaimie, Anne & Angela who inspire me everyday.  I also wanted to make a direct impact by raising funds for cancer research by running with the DFMC team.  EVERY DOLLAR RAISED GOES TO VITAL CANCER RESEARCH!   

“Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”
– Theodore Roosevelt

My favorite quote and personal motto is to “Dare Mighty Things”.  Why do I keep running marathons, why keep challenging myself?  I’d rather dare mighty things.  2022’s mighty thing is to run Boston and raise $13,000 for cancer research! 

Help me dare mighty things, a world without cancer! Please consider donating to Dana-Farber.  You can make a tax-deductible donation on my page below and please ask me about company matching!  You can double your donation at many companies through the company MATCHING program.  Ask me how!

Please consider a donation to my run at my fundraising page:  jennsbostonrun4dana.com

Dare mighty things!

30 days to go until I run the NYC Marathon with Team in Training!  Wow.  My training has been going ‘ok’, I have maintained much of the schedule and run two 20-mile runs so far.  I plan to run 20-22 one more time before the race.   I’ve booked my hotel and travel to NYC.  Just received my race day signature purple shirt.  Everything is falling into place!

Fundraising update!  I’ve raised close to $3500 of my goal of $5000.   I have until race weekend to meet my goal.   Thank you to all who donated to my 100 friends | 100 hours fund raising challenge!  Turns out I had 13 friends contribute, but they are the best 13 friends!  I know many more of you are ‘waiting in the wings’ until race day gets closer.  I understand.  I’ll send you a reminder, don’t worry!
