Run for a Reason!
Join the Gilda’s Runners at the Detroit Free Press Talmer Bank Marathon.
Sunday, October 16, 2011
Gilda’s Runners invites you to join us as we walk, run, maybe even skip, through the streets of Detroit and part of Canada during the Detroit Free Press marathon on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2011. The Gilda’s Runners are comprised of individual participants, as well as relay teams.
Raising funds for the Gilda’s Runners is easy!
Click on “Create a fundraising page” to get started.
You can create your own online fundraising page with personalized text and photo. Urge friends, family and co-workers to support your personal efforts by sending the link to anyone and everyone you think can help you reach your fundraising goal.
Don’t forget to check with your employer to see if they provide matching gifts – you can double your gift to Gilda’s Club!
Individual runners/walkers are encouraged to raise a minimum of $300. Relay teams are encouraged to raise a minimum of $500. Don’t forget…the more funds you raise, the more chances to win great prizes.
IMPORTANT REMINDER:
You must register for the Free Press marathon at www.active.com (Enter Detroit Free Press Talmer Bank marathon in the search box). Creating a fundraising page does NOT register you for the marathon.

**If you are participating in a marathon event other than the Detroit Free Press Talmer Bank marathon, you can still raise funds for Gilda’s Club! Simply create a fundraising page following the steps listed above.
