We are very excited to bring back the Elephant Run for its second year! In our first year we had 255 participants and raised over $16,000 for Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. Please join us again this year to help this amazing cause! Our Story My name is Fiona Curran and I am organizing the Elephant Run 5K for its second year in memory of my grandparents, Barbara and Neil Curran. I sadly lost both of them to cancer and this race is to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Dana-Farber provided excellent care to both my grandparents during their battles with cancer. With this fundraiser, I hope to advance cancer research and make a difference. ​If you are unable to participate in the event donations are very appreciated.
