A Message From Leslie Wellman
Hello friends! I am so excited to be running the 2026 Chicago Marathon on behalf of Gilda’s Club Chicago! Together we are raising funds to help support individuals affected by cancer, as well as their loved ones. So many of us have been or will be impacted by cancer, and organizations like Gilda’s Club that foster community and connection with free programming that complements medical care, are so important. Gilda Radner put it best when she said, “I have a theory that cancer cells hate laughter and jokes and songs and dancing.” This organization helps to keep people laughing and loving during the hardest times. Thank you so much for your support!
