    For six years, Gilda’s Club and the weekly support group that I attend has been consistently an anchor and motivator for meeting the challenges of cancer treatment and emotional stress. It has helped my family because I can confront my risks and fears with my support group feeling confident about my decisions.

    I teach yoga and learn from my students each and every day. I’m always moved by their courage, strength and incredible ability to adapt.

    The experience of having cancer and going through cancer treatment can feel really isolating, and so I think for people to be involved in activities where they are around other people who may be facing the same challenges can REALLY do a lot for people. A lot of times people will say I can’t afford to pay for classes or pay for a gym membership, Gilda’s helps them overcome that because all the services there are free.

    I was so excited when I saw my paintings that I made at Noogie Days hanging on the wall in the kitchen.

    There’s always something going on at Gilda’s. Every month, we offer a wide variety of free support groups, special programs, and good reasons to just hang out together. Many are held at Gilda’s Club’s main Clubhouse on Wells Street, but we also offer programs at all our hospital locations.
