Dr. Howard J. Weinstein aims to raise $100,000 to help children diagnosed with cancer.
This April, a Boston doctor will lace up his shoes and run the Boston Marathon in honor of a six-year-old townie recovering from leukemia. Dr. Howard J. Weinstein aims to raise $100,000 before the race, and aims to apply those funds to help Lily Waldeck and other children like her.
