Runner name: John Murphy Age: 27 Where you live (what village in Newton): Upper Falls Profession: Investment associate at Point Judith Capital (Venture Capital Firm) Marathon experience: First time marathoner! Reason for running: I am running in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. My grandfather passed away from Hodgkin's disease before I was born and I never had a chance to meet him. Seeing that Hodgkin's and other forms of Lymphoma now have a relatively high success rate of treatment, I have realized that the money that has been raised for cancer research really has had a significant impact and is making a difference. There are several people in my life who are currently fighting the battle with various forms of cancer, and I am running in honor of them in hopes that further progress will be made as a result of the money raised. Training tip:  Have fun! The long runs during training are certainly not easy, but that doesn't mean they can't be fun. It's all about the mindset and finding a way to get yourself excited every weekend for your run.   Qualified runner or charity bib?: Charity bib for Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge. <a href="http://www.rundfmc.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=1039390&amp;lis=1&amp;kntae1039390=18347DD414EA43458EF5DFE9A3B838B8&amp;supId=344273291" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">For more information on Murphy's run, check out his fundraising page</a>.  Bib number: 23097 <ul> </ul>
