A Message From Matthew Milam

I’m running the 2023 Chicago Marathon in support of Gilda’s Club! In 2010, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-Hodgkin lymphoma. During that time, I relied on the support of my family and friends to get through the challenging times. At that time, I was unaware of Gilda’s Club and the many resources it has to offer. After meeting my girlfriend, Kellie, she later shared that she attended a Friends & Family support group at Gilda’s Club, after her mom was diagnosed and fought a courageous battle with colon cancer. In learning more about Gilda’s Club, I discovered their support groups are not only open to those who have cancer themselves but those supporting a loved one with cancer and those who have lost a loved one to cancer. I’m running in support of this amazing organization to ensure that all people impacted by cancer have this community of support and resources available to them.
