Are you ready to take steps toward a world without cancer? Join us on Sunday, October 5, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts for the 2025 Jimmy Fund Walk to support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

This incredible event raises funds for groundbreaking cancer research and compassionate patient care. Last year, over 8,000 participants came together and raised nearly $9.4 million, pushing the total impact to an astounding $185 million. This year, let's make an even bigger difference!

Introducing the Skin Cancer Champions Team

This year, we are thrilled to introduce the Skin Cancer Champions team—formed in honor of Skin Cancer Champions, an online support community dedicated to individuals affected by non-melanoma skin cancer. Launched in April 2024, the community provides a much-needed space for patients, caregivers, and clinicians to share experiences, ask questions, and stay informed about the latest advancements in treatment and research.

Skin Cancer Champions was founded by Dr. Emily Ruiz, MD, MPH, FAAD, Director of the High-Risk Skin Cancer Clinic at Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center, and Dr. Chrysalyne Schmults, MD, MScE, FAAD, Vice Chair of Surgical Oncology in the Department of Dermatology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Their patient-centered vision ensures that individuals affected by non-melanoma skin cancer have access to comprehensive support and vital resources.
