My name is Brian Richards. I’m participating in the 2006 Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk to benefit Dana Farber Cancer Institute, a children’s cancer hospital located in Boston. This will take place on September 17. This will be my ninth walk and nineteenth event for the Jimmy Fund; having done ten two day 192-mile bicycle rides prior to doing the Walk. Seventeen members of my family had cancer; thirteen have died including my mother and father. My kid sister and cousin are in remission. I walk the 26.2 miles so I can help speed the day that no other family will have to suffer like mine did. Letters of my Ride and Walk can be seen at my site
For those who sponsored me last year the letter asking for a pledge is in the mail. If you decide not to sponsor me this year just place the letter in the circular file. I can be sponsored electronically at Jimmy Fund site.
Thank you and may God Bless.
