Weathervane Seafood Restaurants Support The Annual Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk
BOSTON : On Sunday, Sept. 13, the streets from Hopkinton to Boston were filled with over 8,000 people taking part in the 21st annual Boston Marathonﾮ Jimmy Fund Walk.
This year''s goal was to raise over 7 million dollars to fund innovative adult and pediatric cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. During the past 20 years, walkers and their financial supporters have contributed more than $60 million to help reach the goal of a world without cancer. Walkers can still receive pledges to support their efforts, and have until November to collect and send in all of their pledges.
All the participants whether it was their 21st Walk or their first, whether they took on the entire marathon or one of the other four routes, or whether they walked in honor or in memory of loved ones affected by cancer walked to help change the odds for those with the disease. The day ends in Copley Square where the walkers can unwind and get a complimentary bite to eat. Weathervane Seafood Restaurants was one of the participating restaurants and served over 300 gallons of Bea''s famous clam chowder. Weathervane has been serving chowder to the exhausted walkers at the finish line for the last 17 years.
