A Message From Suzi Harris

Hi! I'm Suzi. I'm excited to fundraise for a cause I'm passionate about (supporting those impacted by cancer) through a sport I'm passionate about (running really REALLY far). My mother is a breast and uterine cancer survivor. She was first diagnosed when I was in elementary school, and I can still vividly remember the day she lost her hair due to chemo treatments. I wish we would have know then about the amazing work Gilda's Club does to support families navigating cancer. I'm running the 2024 Chicago Marathon for my mom and all the other families facing this hard journey together. I took up running in 2022 in hopes of caring for myself after the unexpected death of my father from a heart condition. Running has helped me process my grief, improve my physical health, and most importantly given me back the community I craved during the pandemic. Community helps us heal, and that's why I love Gilda's Club. They provide community for people who need healing. Please donate to this amazing cause and help my tackle my first marathon. Together we can do anything!
