Our story…
Cancer came out of the blue a year and a half ago and hit our family hard with Jeremy's diagnosis of stage 4 colon cancer. The initial shock brought life to a standstill as we tried to understand what this all meant. In the midst of this turmoil we discovered Gilda's Club and the incredible community and resources that helped us work through so many of the difficult emotions that come about through a cancer diagnosis.
Fortunately Jeremy's treatment has been going well, side effects are minimal and while the cancer is not going away it is under control. He is fortunate to be healthy enough to be active on a daily basis and as tribute to those whose cancer does not permit them to be as active he is, he has set his sights on completing the full marathon this October and raising funds for Gilda's Club Toronto so that they can continue their amazing work.
Any support you can provide to Gilda's Club would be greatly appreciated.
Description
Please support our team as we run for Gilda’s Toronto in the October 2024 hybrid TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, ½ Marathon and 5K. Gilda’s Toronto provides cancer support programs free of charge to adults living with cancer and support for their teens and children who are experiencing cancer-related stress due to living with someone with cancer. Gilda’s Toronto also provides bereavement support to those who have lost someone to cancer. By supporting the Gilda’s Toronto team, you ensure that individuals and families impacted by cancer continue to receive the emotional, educational and health-focused cancer support they require through Gilda’s Toronto cancer-support programs. The need for Gilda’s Toronto has never been even greater as more people with later-stage cancers are seeking support from Gilda’s Toronto. Your donation helps ensure that those impacted by cancer can access and receive the support they need to reduce isolation & cancer-related anxiety. In the words of a Gilda’s member participant: My world fell apart when I was diagnosed with cancer, but joining the Gilda’s Toronto community, made me feel like I wasn’t alone and no words can fully express my gratitude for their incredible support. By supporting our team, you help Gilda’s Toronto continue to fulfill its vision – to help people live, while living with cancer.
Thank you.
