Suzanne Carver and Tricia of coastal Maine are going to walk 26.2 miles this September in The Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk to raise money for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Suzanne writes:

I am doing this marathon in honor of my friend Bill Dyer who is a very special light in this world. His journey with cancer has been nine plus years and counting and he is the living meaning of love and goodness and simply being in his presence reminds me of all that is pure and divine about the human spirit. Please give in honor of Bill and countless others like him. Give as though your loved one’s life depended on it.

You give the money and we’ll pound the pavement!! If I can walk 26.2 miles, surely you can miss a coffee or two for a few weeks, right?

Please visit Suzanne Carver’s Personal Fundraising Page to donate!!

Bill’s wife, Wendy, says they will be posting Bill’s picture on the site. “They are also going to have T-shirts made for the walk with Bill’s picture on the front,” Wendy said.

If you have followed Bill and Wendy’s story from afar since Bill was diagnosed in 1996 or have received Wendy’s help, encouragement, inspiration and support via the many prostate cancer mailing groups in which she takes an active role, this is your chance to give in Bill’s honor while donating to improve cancer care for all.
