Long before he became the mayor of Boston, Marty Walsh became a cancer survivor.
Diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma as a child, Walsh remembers going to The Jimmy Fund building for the first time and the amazing care and hospitality he and his entire family received.
The 2016 WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon will take place Aug. 29 through 30. You can donate and learn more here.
