Why Support Gilda’s Club?

For people learning to live with cancer, the feeling of emotional distress can be hard to bear. Maybe you have seen this with someone you care about. Members of Gilda's Club Simcoe Muskoka what that feels like. Every member of Gilda's Club has felt the impact of cancer. They've also felt the power of the emotional and social support they find in the cancer support community at Gilda's Club. Here they find the information, companionship and emotional support they need to make it through their cancer journey, whatever the destination.

The health and safety of our Members has always been, and continues to be, our top priority; further, as partners in the healthcare field, we feel it is our duty to help slow the spread and minimize the impact of the evolving COVID-19 situation.

As such, effective March 16 2020, Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka has decided to close our doors, including cancelling all scheduled activities, to help keep our members, volunteers, and staff safe.
We will be following up with members at a later time with additional, remote-access services. Additionally, your Program Staff remain accessible by phone or e-mail.
We encourage all members, volunteers and supporters to stay safe and follow the directions and updates of the local Health Unit.

The Board and staff of Gilda’s Club have extended this difficult decision as long as possible with the hope of improvements, but if you have any questions or concerns that you can contact us by email at sara@gildasclubsm.org or aaron@gildasclubsm.org.
MyLifeLine.org was created to connect cancer patients and caregivers to their family, friends, and others like them for social and emotional support. Today, more than ever, we recognize how important community can be. We are here for you. You can also access The Cancer Support Community/ Gilda’s Club Worldwide helpline at 888-793-9355.
Sincerely,
Aaron Lutes & Sara Desroches
