McNaney plans to run 380 miles through Vermont's Green Mountains to her hometown just east of Rochester, New York.
She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012, but is now cancer free.
So far, McNaney has raised over $13,000 for charity.
"It's a challenge, I think that's what motivates me and motivates people to donate to the cause that I'm running for," McNaney said.
To donate, visit the Bostrun2NY website.
"She's stubborn, she has a very string will. When she puts her mind to something, she's going to do it," McNaney's husband Steven said.
