So you want to kiss a Wellesley girl? ;-)

Don't forget! If you’ll be in Boston on April 18, 2011, please come cheer on my DFMC teammates and me as we race towards the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer. The reason we run couldn't be more serious, but we like to have a little fun along the way ;-) If you're looking to have one of the best days/experiences of your life - the Boston Marathon is definitely the way to go! And what better way than to do it for an AMAZING cause like Dana-Farber!

So what IS it like???



The race is point to point and starts in Hopkinton, Mass!

You will be cammed in with about 25,000 other runners... so definitely don't expect any wiggle room for at least a few miles! The cheers from the Hopkinton/Ashland community will be amazing :-)


As you appraoch mile 12 you will begin to hear screams that just keep getting louder and louder... at this point you know you have reached the girls from Wellesley college. They create a 'scream tunnel' striving for unbroken sound as they try and kiss you - each and every one of you.


Don't forget to wave to the fire fighters in Newton! The hills are coming next so get ready ;-)



Welcome to Heartbreak hill! It may not seem like much, but after 21 miles... it feels like death.



Don't forget to say 'Hi' to the BC kids! One tried to hand me a beer last year.... Almost there!!




We have reached mile 25 and the official Dana-Farber cheering section! Only a little over a mile to go! Thank you Dana-Farber supporters!!



AND WE MADE IT!!! THE FINISH!!
