Early lifeBarr received a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer affecting the white blood cells, at age four. During the next several years, she received experimental chemotherapy treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering. At age 17, Barr's cancer went into full remission.[5] In 1985, she graduated from Morristown-Beard School in Morristown, New Jersey. Morristown-Beard School awarded Barr their Distinguished Alumni Award in 2005.[6] Marathon runningIn 1992, Barr ran in the Boston Marathon for the first time. Following the race, she gained a greater interest in the sport of marathon running, which led her to register to run in the New York City Marathon in the fall. Soon after registering, Barr received a letter from runner Fred Lebow that encouraged her to collect donations to support cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Lebow, who co-founded the New York City Marathon and served as president of New York Road Runners, was receiving cancer treatment at the medical center at that time. After raising $1,500 for Memorial Sloan-Kettering in the New York City Marathon, Barr continued to collect donations for them in future races.[7] In 1997, Memorial Sloan-Kettering named their Aubrey Fund for Pediatric Cancer Research after Barr.[7] As of 2008, the Aubrey Fund had raised more than $25 million to support childhood cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.[8] Barr resides in Duxbury, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston,[9] and she practices for races by running alongside the Charles River.[5] She runs her races with Fred's Team, the marathon fundraising group for Memorial Sloan-Kettering named after Lebow. During the 2012 New York City Marathon, Barr and her teammates paid tribute to Lebow at the statute honoring him in Central Park in New York City.[3] Public speaking on cancerIn 2012, Barr gave the keynote address at an event held by CentraState Medical Center in Freehold Township, New Jersey to celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day. CentraState participates in clinical trials of cancer research for the Cancer Trials Support Unit at the National Cancer Institute.[10] She gave the keynote address at the gala of the Next Generation Foundation in 2010.[11] The foundation aims to increase the involvement of youth and young adults in efforts to address cancer.[12] References1. ^{{cite book | title=Anything For A T-shirt: Fred Lebow And The New York City Marathon, The World's Greatest Footrace | year=2004 | page=276 | first=Ron | last=Rubin | chapter=Postscript: The Awards Ceremony--Vignettes}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Barr, Aubrey}}2. ^{{cite journal | journal=Reflecting on the Future | issue=Spring 2014 | year=2014 | pages=1, 3 | title=Running for Hope | publisher=Memorial Sloan-Kettering | url=http://read.uberflip.com/i/284481/1}} 3. ^1 {{cite news | newspaper=The Uptown Chronicle | url=http://theuptownchronicle.com/?p=5189 | title='We Did What You Would Have Done, Fred.' | date=November 8, 2012 | first=Laura | last=Dimon}} 4. ^{{cite news | newspaper=The Hour | date=April 17, 2014 | title=Medical Personnel have marathon day due to soarding heat | first=Steve | last=LeBlanc}} 5. ^1 {{cite journal | journal=Runner's World | title=The Human Race | volume=33 | issue=12 | first=Welles | last=Lobb}} 6. ^{{cite web | url=http://mobeard.org/mbs/alumni/distAlumni.php?id=10 | title=2005 - Aubrey Adam Barr - 1985 | access-date=2015-02-05 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110921070201/http://www.mobeard.org/mbs/alumni/distAlumni.php?id=10 | archive-date=2011-09-21 | dead-url=yes | df= }}"The Aubrey Fund for Pediatric Cancer Research began in 1997 at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, named for Aubrey Adam Barr '85, who has raised nearly 20 million dollars through the coordination and sponsorship of marathons around the globe." 7. ^1 {{cite web | url=http://mskcc.convio.net/site/PageServer?pagename=ft_stories_aubrey | title=Aubrey's Story}} 8. ^{{cite news | newspaper=The Times Union | first=Kristi Gustafson | last=Barlette | date=October 24, 2008 | url=http://blog.timesunion.com/ontheedge/happy-hour-to-benefit-cancer-research/3356/ | title=Happy hour to benefit cancer research}} 9. ^{{cite news | newspaper=The Cape Cod Times | url=http://www.capecodtimes.com/article/20040420/Sports/304209981 | title=Former winner Pippig seeking U.S. citizenship | date=April 20, 2014}} 10. ^{{cite news | url=http://patch.com/new-jersey/freehold/an--centrastate-celebrates-cancer-survivorship | title=CentraState Celebrates Cancer Survivorship | date=June 13, 2012 | first=Anthony | last=Stoeckert | newspaper=Patch.com}} 11. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.nextgenerationfoundation.com/videos.php | title=Videos--Next Generation Foundation | access-date=2015-02-06 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150220052444/http://nextgenerationfoundation.com/videos.php | archive-date=2015-02-20 | dead-url=yes | df= }} 12. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.nextgenerationfoundation.com/about.php | title=About Us--Next Generation Foundation | access-date=2015-02-06 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150220054251/http://nextgenerationfoundation.com/about.php | archive-date=2015-02-20 | dead-url=yes | df= }} 7 : Year of birth missing (living people)|Living people|American female marathon runners|Cancer survivors|People from Duxbury, Massachusetts|People from New Jersey|Morristown-Beard School alumni |
