WHY WE WALK/RUN WITH GILDA'S
Cancer doesn't stop for a pandemic and neither does Gilda's Club South Florida.
Your registration fee and fundraising support will allow Gilda's Club South Florida to continue providing much needed support to cancer patients, caregivers, and their families. Our evidence-based program provides support groups, mind body workshops, lectures and so much more to men, women, and children impacted by cancer. We are currently providing our program on a growing online community with daily activities for our members, all free of charge.

Start a Team:
Community is stronger than cancer. Create a race/walk team to take to show our community that no one has to face cancer alone.
Fundraising Goal:
We encourage participants to fundraise at least $250 for Gilda’s Club. You can raise these funds in honor or memory of someone special in your life. Each $250.00 raised helps provide a free support group to men, women, and children facing the stress and impact of a cancer diagnosis. Anyone who raises at least $250.00 is eligible for a medal!
Please consider sharing your participant page with family, friends, and your community. You would be surprised how much a simple email or social media post encourages folks to donate to a cause you are passionate about.
Don't forget! Send us pictures in your race shirts, race team, or videos of your run/walk route and we’ll share it on social media! Don’t forget to tag us on social media #GildasGratitude #IRunWithGilda and tell us who you'e walking/running for!
