The rest of the story...

Pat has been a patient of Dana-Farber for the past year or so. Colby's friend's mom was a patient who lost her fight with cancer in December. Colby chose to forego baseball his senior year of college to try something completely different and run the Boston Marathon. So, Colby will be running in honor of his friend's mom and in support of Pat's battle. Pat hosted a brunch and silent auction to help Colby raise funds for Dana-Farber. So far, Colby has raised over $10K for Dana-Farber. Way to go Colby and thanks Pat and Judy for inviting me!
