"By volunteering your time at a Jimmy Fund event, you ensure the money we raise goes directly where it is needed most - to research and patient care at Dana-Farber." (http://www.jimmyfund.org/vol/default.html)
For those of you, like myself, who would like to do something with their "free" time other than just sitting around on our butts, volunteering your time is a great option. The Jimmy Fund is always putting on events around Boston to help raise money for Cancer research. I am signed up to volunteer the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk on Sunday, September 21st. It barely requires any effort, but putting on a smile and lending a helping hand to support the walkers in the Walk. These walkers are raising at least $250.00 (minimum) each for cancer research.
Even if you don't have time to volunteer that day, stop by and clap your hands for these walkers and the Jimmy Fund for putting on this event to raise money for such a worthy cause (and say hi to me too)! :)
