Dear Fellow Chiefs,
We hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer.
With less than two months until the 2026 Jimmy Fund Walk for Dana-Farber presented by Hyundai, we invite you to join this inspiring, annual event.
This event is more than just a walk – it’s a chance to come together in support of the lifesaving research and patient care happening every day at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Whether you’re returning for another year or considering joining for the first time, we’d love to have you on the team. You’ll experience an incredible sense of community while helping advance breakthroughs that are changing the future of cancer care.
The 2026 Walk will take place on Sunday, October 4. Join thousands on the historic Boston Marathon® course and choose from four in-person route options:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
Not available on Sunday, October 4 or prefer to participate from home? You can also walk virtually from your own community or volunteer to support the event.
We currently have 64 team members signed up, and our goal is to beat last year’s count of 104. Help us get there and register to walk with us on Team Police Chiefs and be part of this important Chief’s tradition. Use code CHIEF to save $5 off the registration fee.
We appreciate your support, and we look forward to walking alongside you in October. As always, feel free to reach out to Jess Abbott with any questions.
Chief Jeffrey Lourie & Chief Larry Barrett
Team Captains of Team Police Chiefs
P.S. The WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon presented by Arbella Insurance is coming up on August 17 and 18! Be sure to tune in over these two days to hear inspirational stories from Dana-Farber patients, doctors, nurses and supporters.
