In 2019, I ran the NYC Marathon to celebrate the memory of my Mom, who passed from cancer earlier that same year.  On November 7th , I'll be running in the 50th anniversary NYC Marathon  again in my Mom's memory, and to support the programs of the Red Door Community (formerly Gilda's Club).  My mom was incredibly supportive, and she inspired me throughout my life to tackle challenging conquests. If she were here, I know she'd be cheering from the sidelines.
I was introduced to the Red Door Community by a friend and soon realized what a special place it was; a community I could reach out to when I needed a space to talk about my mom and our experience, and so much more.  

Please support me by making a donation to the Red Door Community.

From Gilda's Club:
Your donation funds support groups, lectures, workshops & social activities provided to thousands of individuals living with cancer. Over 40,000 individuals are newly diagnosed with cancer annually in New York City. Red Door Community continues to grow, expanding program & membership. Your gift will directly impact cancer patients and their families & help support thousands in need. COVID-19 changed the landscape for cancer patients-heightened anxiety, interrupted treatments, increased isolation & financial insecurity. Red Door Community responded to these needs by offering their program virtually, increasing individual counseling sessions +120%, online support groups +7%, healthy lifestyle workshops +60%, educational lectures +30%. All this FREE of charge to members. Join me in supporting Red Door Community. Every gift counts your support makes a difference. Thank you for your consideration of this special community.
