Last Tuesday, I attended a runner's meeting at Dana-Farber. There were about 200 of the runners in attendance and the main focus was injury prevention, training, and stretching. They also had a poster signing for about a dozen children with cancer at Dana-Farber. I haven't met any of our "running partners" yet, but I expect to meet them at a future meeting, and Dana-Farber has a stand at the 25th mile of the race where some patients, big and small, will be watching the race and cheer us on to the finish.
I have noted a couple stories regarding Dana-Farber:

On Jan. 28, anchor Katie Couric interviewed Ronald DePinho, MD, director of Dana-Farber’s Belfer Institute for Applied Cancer Science, for an in-depth report on where the U.S. stands in terms of cancer care today and the progress toward personalized medicine. See the cbsnews Video clip

In January, actress Valerie Bertinelli sat down with Meredith Vieira of the “Today” show and Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa of “Live!” to announce her plans to run the Boston Marathon® as a member of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge team.
