Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) is on track to conquering major forms of cancer. Home to many of the world's groundbreaking discoveries in cancer research and treatment, Dana-Farber is uniquely positioned to transform this vision into reality. The Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge (DFMC) team directs 100% of funds raised to the Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research at DFCI, which enables leading researchers to achieve increased cure rates and to enhance patients' quality of life. DFMC took its first steps in 1990 as one of the inaugural organizations in the official B.A.A. Boston Marathon Charity Program. The team aims to celebrate DFMC 2009, its 20th year, by raising $4.85 million for the Barr Program.
