My Story…

Hi!

As you may know, I've been a volunteer at Gilda's Club Toronto since March 2025. It's such a valuable organization run by the most caring and compassionate people who provide cancer support programs free of charge to adults living with cancer as well as providing support for their teens and children who are experiencing cancer-related stress as a result of living with someone with cancer.  They also provide bereavement support to those who have lost someone to cancer.  

On Saturday, October 18th, I'll be participating in the 5KM with Gilda's Toronto.  By supporting me, you help Gilda's Club Toronto continue to fulfill their vision and honour Gilda Radner's wish that no one living with cancer should face it alone

I appreciate your support, and if you are unable to donate at this time, it's ok!  If you didn't already know about Gilda's Club, now you do. Remember to send good vibes my way on October 18th!

With Gratitude,

Phyllis


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 even 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.
