A Message From Elizabeth Surprise
Thank you for donating to Gilda's Club. In 2019 I decided to start running and it has always been a goal of mine to run the Chicago Marathon- THIS IS THE YEAR!!!
I chose to run for Team Gilda for many reasons. The main reason being the friends and family that have been diagnosed with cancer. I have been blessed to witness the success stories while also enduring the losses. A diagnosis of cancer brings with it a multitude of emotions and challenges and Gilda's Club is there for individuals to provide guidance and support. Not all that are diagnosed with cancer have a support network and Gilda's Club is there for them. As a social worker, I have been able to professionally engage with Gilda's Club and have witnessed the wonderful support they provide to all that are affected and in need. Please join me in supporting Gilda's Club as together we can prove that community and support are stronger than cancer!
