My Story…

I’m running on a mission. I’m running because I have the health to do so. But there are so many families who are impacted by   Cancer and its  effect on their entire life. Your contribution to my goal will allow Us to Support families who are going through this devastating illness.  Behind every diagnosis is a Parent, a child, a friend, a sibling who had to reroute their life in ways that were beyond their control.

 Inspired by Gilda Radner’s belief that “no one should face cancer alone,” Gilda’s Toronto provides comprehensive psychosocial support, helping people not just endure cancer but truly live while navigating it. 

As I run my half marathon for Gilda’s Club Toronto, Please support me in raising funds for all those who decided to put the WILL to move forward above everything. 



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.
