Jimmy Fund things to do in bostonOkay guys, so this event is a no brainer - JUST GO! On September 9th make sure to eat a breakfast full of carbs because you will have quite the journey ahead of you. Walk the 26.2 mile course of the Boston Marathon in an effort to raise money and awareness for the Jimmy Fund. (No worries they have shorter walks too!) The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai is a one-day event that unites thousands of walkers, sponsors, and volunteers for one mission: raising funds to help Dana-Farber Cancer Institute conquer cancer.

"Over the past 24 years, the walk has contributed more than $80 million to support cancer research and care at Dana-Farber."

Now you can't tell me that isn't wicked awesome... and now is your chance to participate! Grab your fannie pack and water bottle and.. umm.. ohh yeah some Dr. Scholl's! You'll need them!
