Marie Smyth

Blessed with Jonathan as her son, Marie has dedicated her life to raising awareness and funding to battle childhood cancer in memory of Jonathan. For over 20 years, her family has supported the Dana Farber Cancer Institute by participating in many fundraising activities for the Jimmy Fund. Having experienced this firsthand, she hopes the story of Little Dude can help other children who may be dealing with the loss of a loved one. Marie lives in Plymouth, Massachusetts with her husband, Bill. Jonathan has an older sister, Katie, and a younger brother, Jason, who he never met.
