My Story…

Hi everyone,
I’m excited to be taking part once again in the Toronto Waterfront 5K—this time in memory of my dad, who we lost to cancer, and in support of one of my closest friends who is bravely facing her own cancer journey. Supporting Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto is deeply meaningful to me, as they provide free emotional and social support to anyone impacted by cancer, including families like mine.
Thanks to your generosity last year, our team raised over $2,800. This year, I’m hoping we can make an even bigger impact! Every donation, no matter the size, helps Gilda’s Club continue their incredible work for the people who need it most.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support—it truly means the world to me.

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.
