https://www.jimmyfund.org en The Jimmy Fund started with a boy who loved baseball. The boy dubbed “Jimmy” was a 12-year-old from New England with lymphoma. In 1948, he appeared on a national radio program broadcasted from his hospital room. He was joined by members of his favorite baseball team: the Boston Braves. Jimmy had just one wish: a TV so he could watch his favorite team play. Listeners donated what they could and together ended up raising hundreds of thousands of dollars. With this support, the Jimmy Fund was born—its mission? To support cancer patients at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, just like Jimmy. Today, 75 years later, the Jimmy Fund community has grown to millions of supporters who are changing how the whole world treats cancer for adults and children. https://megaphone.imgix.net/podcasts/0ef533d4-1c33-11ee-8172-bbef6b3e86e0/image/JimmyFundPodcastLogo.jpg?ixlib=rails-4.3.1&max-w=3000&max-h=3000&fit=crop&auto=format,compress https://www.jimmyfund.org no episodic Jimmy Fund Podcast Hearst StoryStudio The Jimmy Fund started with a boy who loved baseball.
