I’m running the Chicago Marathon with Team Gilda for a very personal reason. I lost my uncle who helped raise me in the Philippines and a very close aunt to cancer. Going through that kind of loss changed my family. At the time, we leaned on each other. But I know how much a place like Gilda’s Club Chicago could have helped offering free support groups and community for people. No one should have to navigate cancer alone. And support shouldn’t depend on what you can afford. I’m running 26.2 miles to help make sure those services stay free and accessible for others who need them. I hope some day an organization can also exist in the Philippines! If you’re able to donate or share, I’m truly grateful. Any and every amount counts! Thank you for being part of this with me.
