A Message From Julia Rubano

I’m running my first marathon in honor of my maternal grandmother, Helena, who passed away while battling breast cancer. Her husband, my grandpa, Henryk, also fought renal cancer. They were married 33 years—the same age I’ll be when I run the marathon. Like so many, my family has been affected by cancer more than just through these two people, but I’m excited to commemorate their memories by raising money and awareness for Club Gilda.
