Help Us Reach Our Goal So No One Has To Face Cancer Alone

My son Anthony was six years old when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Later they rediagnosed it as Brain cancer. We found Gildas club to be a great source for information and support during his treatments and he enjoyed the activities at the clubhouse. He passed away at 13 years old. We continue to walk in his honor. He wanted us to continue to help others as they continue to fight for their lives. This is why we do it.

Description

This year's Scotiabank Run/Walk has gone virtual for 2020 so please support me as I run for Gilda's Club Greater Toronto who provides cancer support programs free of charge to adults, teens/children as well as their families who are experiencing cancer-related stress. Due to COVID-19, there has never been a more significant time to donate. This year’s event is crucial as Gilda's Club had to cancel all other fundraising events yet those living with cancer related stress need Gilda's Club now more than ever. This pandemic, the forced isolation and extraordinary uncertainties have had a tremendous impact on Gilda's Club members who are living with and experiencing cancer related stress. By donating you will make it possible for our members to access and receive the support they need to relieve stress, reduce isolation & provide resources to help them through this increasingly difficult time. Funds raised will maintain our cancer support groups/programs as our team of licensed health professionals have modified these programs to virtual platforms. Thanks for helping to ensure that no one has to face cancer alone.
