Team Ovations Jimmy Fund Walk

Hello OFTC Community,

Team Ovations is back on the Boston Marathon route on Sunday, October 5, 2025 for the Boston Jimmy Fund Walk!

Thanks to your incredible support in 2024, we raised $36,117.16, bringing our total to nearly $700K. Let’s aim for $800K this year!

This walk is dedicated to Josie, our Galway Girl, who was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer on February 14, 2024. Now undergoing treatment across the ocean in Ireland, Josie inspires every step we take toward a cancer-free future.

Here’s how you can help:

Join Team Ovations – Walk with us (5K, 10K, half, full marathon) or virtually.
Donate – Every dollar supports Dr. Ursula Matulonis’ vital ovarian cancer research at Dana-Farber. No amount is too small.

Together, let’s get closer to our $1M goal!
