Dana-Farber's Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research

I'm running in memory of Ginny Blake and all those impacted by cancer, whether friend or family; survivors; those who received "benign" news, or just survived a scare!

Back to Basics

When long-distance running, I try to focus on the present step, and the first step that gets me out the door, and not care about the 35,000th. (That's right, at my average cadence, I'll take about 35,000 steps over the course of the marathon.)
Perhaps it's an analogy for life itself.
Live.
One Step, One Breath, One Moment, at a time.
Starting to run? Try not to worry about the 5th, 10th, 15th mile...they will come.
 
Just feel comfortable knowing that the path you're on is the right one.
 
The same goes for cancer research.
 
A recent supporter reminded me of the basic good of the basic cancer research performed at Dana-Farber.
The cures for cancer will come through basic research.
Several recent articles that can be explored at Dana-Farber extol the single steps along the path to a cure, such as these regarding prostate, breast, and lung cancer breakthroughs and findings:
 
Therefore, we can take great comfort knowing the single steps we take, all make a difference.
