Gilda Toronto’s story

Gilda Radner believed everyone navigating cancer should have access to comprehensive psychosocial cancer support through therapeutic programs delivered by mental health professionals. Because it’s not just about getting through cancer – it’s about living, while living with cancer.

Luckily, through my sister, I was able to connect with Gilda’s Toronto teen support group. I was able to connect with other teens who had been touched by cancer, a group of kids who understood the nuances of having someone close to you with cancer.
