Just received this from Ron Currie Jr., whose father, Ron Sr., is being treated at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Today's the day they're raising money for The Jimmy Fund, which I learned about when a beautiful young man whom I love dearly was diagnosed with cancer at the age of three. Here's Ron's note:
Today is the annual radio telethon to raise money for the Jimmy Fund at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. This is a big event here in New England, esp. among Red Sox fans, as the club has been affiliated with the Jimmy Fund since 1948. My father is being treated at Dana Farber, so I've seen firsthand the really incredible work they do there. I know you hear that all the time but it's really true, especially in their work with children and emphasis on family. So consider skipping the mochaccino today and kicking that ten bucks over to the Jimmy Fund instead.
