My Story…
To my dear Friends, Family and Colleagues,
Please support me as I will be running the virtual TCS Marathon marathon again in honour of my late wife Erin.
Gilda's Club Greater Toronto has been amazing at providing support to my son Emerson and myself during this difficult time from providing support groups, to events such as the holiday party or camp in the city for Emerson. It has been extremely difficult, especially during Covid and all of the isolation and lockdowns. However Gilda's has been amazing at providing virtual events, and continuing to support their members and creating a sense of a community when things became difficult.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, and Gilda's Club over these last 5 years. Emerson and I appreciate every one of you :)
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.
