One thing I’ve been reminded of this year more than most: health and well-being for yourself and those you love is precious. I have the privileged of being part of the team at Gilda's Club and during this social distancing time, I've had a front row seat to the vital, FREE cancer and grief emotional health support community Gilda's offers.

For many, the community Gilda’s Club represents is a lifeline when cancer affects their life or someone in their life dies. Our program team was able to shift our traditional in-person program to a virtual clubhouse that still connects people, meeting them where and when they need it most. This ensures, even when we can't physically be together, no one has to face cancer or grief alone.

Like many non-profits, our events and fundraising opportunities have been greatly impacted by COVID-19 and with our members needing the vital connection our support provides now more than ever, I need your support now more than ever too. Please consider making a donation toward my West Side Walk campaign. Your donation will help make mission moments like these possible: an older club member getting on Zoom for the first time since quarantine started and bursting into tears when he could finally "see" his fellow support group attendees again. Community is stronger than cancer or grief - help us keep it going and growing!
