My Progress
I'm going the distance to leave cancer behind!
My Progress
0.0 mi
My Goal
110 mi
100% of every participant-raised dollar goes to EMF’s mission.
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped support The Expect Miracles Foundation - Financial Services Against Cancer & Team MERRILL & Friends over the past few years!
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2025 DISTANCE CHALLENGE IS NOW OPEN - be a part of the team as we look to raise $1 million+ for the cancer community.
Expect Miracles Foundation (EMF) rallies the financial services industry and beyond to invest in life-saving cancer research while advancing the financial and emotional health of people impacted by cancer.
Unlike many nonprofits, Expect Miracles Foundation's work in the cancer community is two-fold: an investment in life-saving research, and an investment in financial support for those facing financial burden of cancer. The combination provides hope at every stage of the journey.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, 100% of all participant-raised dollars support EMF's portfolio of funds:
- Discovery Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
- Innovation Fund at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
- SAMFund, which provides financial assistance to young adult cancer survivors
Over the past few months, I've been fortunate to participate in EMF's SAMFund grant reviews, and also attend an event at the Robert and Renée Belfer Center for Applied Cancer Science at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute - this only continued to highlight how important EMF's dual mission is, how much has been accomplished, and how we still have so much more work to do.
This year I will be looking to go the distance by running/walking 110 miles from May 13-20. Any and all support is greatly appreciated (details and ability to donate in the attached link) - thank you so much!
*And remember - if you are a BofA/Merrill employee, please don’t forget to request the employer match. Thank you!*
Best,
