Edmonds residents Gary and Kimberly Griffiths will be running at the 36th annual Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge (DFMC) at Massachusetts’ historical marathon route from Hopkinton to Boston on Monday, April 21.
With more than 500 teammates, they will run to collectively raise $8.5 million for cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. All of the money raised by the DFMC team benefits Dana-Farber’s Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research, which supports promising science research in its earliest stages. The DFMC has raised more than $132 million for the Barr Program to date.
– Invitational runners: Runners who receive their entry from Dana-Farber have a minimum fundraising commitment of $10,000.
– Own entry runners : Runners who have joined the DFMC after obtaining their own race entry have a fundraising commitment of $4,000.

There is also a cash donation jar located at Brigid’s Bottleshop, 188 Sunset Ave. S., Edmonds.
Gary and Kim are great contributors to our neighborhood. Not only are they raising money for cancer awareness and research, but they are totally committed to raising Labs for Guide Dogs for The Blind and rehousing the guide dogs after they need to retire.
It is always a treat to see Hartley, Flynn and Galley when they are all out for a walk. Well done Gary and Kim
Gary and Kim are amazing neighbors and members of our community. I support them in all of their endeavors and aspire to reach their levels of kindness and compassion. Run like the wind, dear friends!!!
