In Memory of Christian: A Marathon to End Cancer

As many of you know, the fight against cancer holds profound meaning for me. My brother Christian’s battle with childhood leukemia left a deep impact on our family, and his courage inspires me every day to support the pursuit of a cancer-free world.

This year, I am honored to join Dana-Farber’s dedicated team of runners for the 2025 Boston Marathon. Running 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Boston, I am driven by Christian’s memory and the countless families touched by cancer. Through the Dana-Farber Marathon Challenge, we’re raising crucial funds for innovative cancer research and exceptional patient care, pushing closer to breakthroughs that will save lives.

Each step, each mile, and every single donation, regardless of size, will support Dana-Farber’s groundbreaking initiatives. Your contribution will directly fuel the kind of research that brings new treatments and, ultimately, a cure within reach.

Please consider joining me in this mission, helping to honor Christian’s legacy and bring hope to those fighting this disease.

Thank you for your support and generosity.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Andreas
