My Story…
Please support me as I run once again for my favourite charity - Gilda’s Toronto, on October 18, 2025 in the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon, ½ Marathon and 5K. This year marks 22 years of me working for this incredible organization. Most of you, my fabulous friends and family, continue to support me year after year - truly grateful and I don’t take it for granted – REALLY ! 2 in 5 people will develop cancer in their lifetime and I have friends and family going through it now. Cancer has touched me personally and affected so many people in my family, so I know first-hand the stress that comes with a diagnosis. Gilda’s exists to support the anxiety that comes from a cancer diagnosis – we support not just the person with cancer, but their spouse, teens and children. In the words of a cancer patient and 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 me, you help Gilda’s Toronto continue to fulfill our vision: “to help people live while living with cancer”. Thank you. ELANA
Description
Please support me as I run for Gilda’s Toronto in the October 2025 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 me, you ensure that individuals and families impacted by cancer continue to receive the emotional, educational and health-focused cancer support they require to help with cancer related anxiety. The need for Gilda’s Toronto has never been greater as there was a 24% increase in new membership just last year. In the words of a young cancer patient and Gilda’s member participant: Finding the 20s and 30s support group at Gilda’s Toronto was like turning my head and meeting others who were on the cancer rollercoaster with me. They understood my loss and I understood theirs. I felt seen and heard. Being in this group helped me come to terms with what cancer stole from me at such a young age.” Aneesha R. By supporting me, you help Gilda’s Toronto continue to fulfill their vision: “to help people live while living with cancer”. Thank you.
