My Story…
Here we go again! Since 2011, I’m continuing to dedicate my annual race to Gilda’s Toronto. Please join me supporting Gilda’s in the Oct. 2025 TCS Toronto Waterfront Half-Marathon.
My personal journey has brought me to understand the frightening impacts of cancer. Dealing with my own health issues this fall, I’m ever-more convinced that supporting this organization, especially during the run-season, is so important! Gilda’s Toronto is such a vital and compassionate organization, providing cancer support programs free of charge, bereavement support and so much more.
Your donation ensures individuals and families affected by cancer get the support they need. By supporting me, you help Gilda’s Toronto continue to fulfill their vision: “to help people live while living with cancer”. Thank 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.
