A Message From Graeme White

I’m running the 2025 Chicago Marathon to raise funds for Gilda’s Club Chicago, an organization that provides invaluable emotional and social support to those affected by cancer. In my role at Tempus, I’m proud to work on the forefront of oncology drug development, helping to advance cutting-edge treatments and improve patient outcomes. Every day, I’m inspired by the resilience of patients and their loved ones. Supporting Gilda’s Club through this marathon is another way I hope to contribute to the fight against cancer and ensure that no one faces it alone. By running, I hope to honor those we’ve lost, celebrate survivors, and bring hope to those currently battling cancer. My goal is to raise over $2,100 for Gilda's Club Chicago; together, we can make a tangible impact and help provide the care and resources that every person facing cancer deserves. Thank you in advance for your support! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is Gilda's Club: Gilda’s Club Chicago uplifts and strengthens people impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering compassionate communities, and breaking down barriers to care. The Heart of Gilda’s: Gilda's Club is a place where anyone whose life has been impacted by any type of cancer, as well as their families and friends, can feel they are part of a welcoming community of support. Join us and help us prove that Community is Stronger Than Cancer. Who is Gilda? Gilda Radner was one of the original cast members of “Saturday Night Live.” Throughout her time on the show, she created a number of enduring characters, including Roseanne Roseannadanna, Emily Litella and Lisa Loopner. Laughter and love were central themes of Gilda’s career and life, including in her marriage to actor and comedian Gene Wilder, the original Willy Wonka. Gilda was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1985. She said that having cancer gave her membership in an elite club she’d rather not belong to. She passed away in 1989, but her legacy lived on when her husband and friends established Gilda’s Club and the first red door opened in New York City.
