Name: Anne Keane
Age: 42
From: Hingham
As a current stage IV breast cancer patient being treated at the Dana-Farber, I know the impact that research has on improving and extending the quality of life.
By running and raising money on behalf of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge Team, I am able to give back to such a great organization in a meaningful way.
I feel so lucky to be able to move — let alone run a marathon — when so many others are not. I don’t have to, I GET to.
