“The same way people in gangs can do things that the individual could never do alone, the gang of us fighting cancer makes us all stronger.” —Gilda Radner
Training Begins May 30, 2009 for the Rochester Marathon, Half-marathon, or 4-person relay that will take place on September 13, 2009
Gilda’s Club Rochester is organizing this special opportunity with coaching provided by professionals: you’ll participate in a 16-week training program planned and implemented by the fitness specialists from Fleet Feet and Gilda’s Club. As part of the Gang, you will share your training experience with others; it’ll be fun, challenging, and most of all, an opportunity to grow in mind, body and spirit.
To join the Gang, we ask that you commit to raising a minimum of $500. Take a look at the levels of participation below and choose how much you want to pledge. Upon entry, we will provide you with a packet that will include all the information relating to Gilda’s Gang!
Once you register on this website, you will be able to create your own fundraising webpage. From here, you can email all your friends, family, and co-workers for support. There are email templates readily available on your website so you can start raising money today!
