About this campaign
I'm running the Boston Marathon for the 7th year in memory of my siblings, Molly, Mary and John, and for way too many of all of our family members and friends. I have been inspired by the strength, poise and courage of so many who have been diagnosed with cancer. Through running, we are raising much needed funds that will change the future of cancer treatment and care. "Be good. Be Strong." has become a message we've truly
embraced. Live well by showing goodness and kindness and respect to
others and to yourselves. Be strong, not just physically but stand for
what you believe and for what is right. Fight the good fight. Be good
and be strong.

I am inspired to run by many people. I started running
marathons seven years ago in support of my three siblings who had been diagnosed
with cancer. Sadly, I now run in their memories as within three years, all of
them lost their lives to cancer. I also run for many others who I carry with me across the miles: family members, friends, neighbors, team members, and your loved ones whose stories you have shared with me over the past 6 years.
I think that throughout the 11 years, from my
brother's first diagnosis of a brain tumor in 2000 to the day of my second
sister's funeral in 2011, running has saved me. In
the many years of illness, treatment, and occasional remissions; and those that
have followed their deaths, running has provided me an outlet to process pain and
sadness, to clear my head and think through decisions, to cry, to remember, to
laugh. Through running, I have
realized how important exercise is to overall well being, and I know that
enduring what our family has been through would have been significantly more
difficult for me without being able to throw on my shoes and head out the door.
Cancer doesn't just affect those who are diagnosed: It changes the world for
anyone that is part of that life. Having the opportunity to use running in a positive manner has helped me
to see that I am running towards many positive things and not away from the negative.
Towards a cure for cancer, serenity and peace, hope and courage and
strength.
The funds raised will benefit a leading cancer hospital in Boston to fund cancer researchers at the leading edge of discovery to achieve
better cure rates and to enhance patients' quality of life.
So, please....Buy a shirt. Spread the word. Share the story. And thank you so much for your support!
Be good. Be strong.

Good luck Jennie! You are amazing.
Go Jennie Go!
Because Jennie Firth kicks cancers ass!
...Jennie and her family hold one of the most dearest of places in our hearts. The pain and joy and grief and love and strength we have seen in them is beyond imaginable. Anyway we can lift them-we will try.
The Firth family has always been special. I think about Molly, Mary, and John all the time but their pain is over. Now the rest of you have to be good and strong and carry on. Cheers to courage, strength, and all the goodness this world has to offer.
For Noreen Piazza and all of our relatives that have had cancer
