With over 8,500 people expected to participate in the annual Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk on Sunday, September 8, one reader wanted to know how many will be from Holliston.

Walk organizers are expecting 8,500 participants who have the collective goal of raising more than $7 million for patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Jimmy Fund. Holliston will be fielding four walkers.

The Holliston participants are:

  • Elisabeth Jutkiewicz    
  • Christine Moynihan    
  • Jeanne Murphy 
  • Christina Pizzi   
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the race which has raised nearly $87 million to date. Runners can choose between either the entire 26.2-mile Hopkinton to Boston route, the 13.1-mile Babson to Boston route, the 5-mile Boston College route, or the 3-mile route from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to the Copley Square Finish. 

All walkers must raise a minimum of $300, and walkers 12 years old and younger have a fundraising minimum of $100. Pacesetters are extraordinary fundraisers who raise $1,500 or more.
