OUR STORY:

The Gilda's Club staff will be participating in the Pgh Marathon. We are running in honor of and in memory of all our members and volunteers. We are each hard at work training for our leg of the marathon. Some of us are runners (Colleen), some are former runners (Carol and Kathleen), and some are not runners (Ann and Melissa). Debbie will be cheering us on! While we may have different running abilities, we are completely committed to Gilda's.

And here's why we are running:

* because we love Gilda's Club and all the people connected to it. So we wanted to celebrate our members and volunteers and we wanted to honor those we have lost.

* because we KNOW that those touched by cancer need to have a place where they can go to connect with others in a support group, learn information in a lecture, laugh with others during a social activity, pick up a new skill (like knitting or beading), and relax in a yoga or meditation workshop.

* because we have seen the connections members make and all the wonderful things that happen as a result. We call those surprising and unexplained moments "Gilda's magic."

* because we want to continue to offer all our activities completely FREE of charge to our more than 1,000 members!!
