Falls Church resident Michael Glover will run the 120th Boston Marathon as part of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge Team, which is representing Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. All of the money raised by Glover and his teammates will fun the Claudia Adams Barr Program, a leading program for innovation in cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Glover, along with more than 550 Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge teammates from across the United States and around the world, will run Massachusetts’ historic marathon route from Hopkinton to Boston with a goal to raise $5.4 million for cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. This year marks the 27th annual running of the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge.
Since its inception in 1990, the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge has raised nearly $75 million for the Barr Program. Dana-Farber Trustees J. Wayne and Delores Barr Weaver founded the Barr Program in 1987 to honor Mrs. Weaver’s mother, Claudia Adams Barr, who died from cancer 30 years earlier.
