BioMed Realty is proud to share that Executive Vice President Colleen O’Connor has successfully summited Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, as part of the Timmerman Traverse in support of the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation.
The Timmerman Traverse brings together leaders from across the life sciences community to raise critical funds and awareness for innovative cancer research. Through this extraordinary journey, participants help accelerate early-stage science that can lead to new breakthroughs for patients.
