Christmas is over. Hanukkah ends this week. And New Year’s Eve is right around the corner.
That can mean only one thing. It’s almost Gang Time again! Gilda’s Gang, that is.
I am excited to report that this year, I’m not only returning to the training course
myself but also bringing my daughter and a few friends and colleagues along for the fun.
What is Gilda’s Gang?
It’s a 15-week training program to walk or run the Country Music Half Marathon on April 28. It’s also a way to raise awareness about and funds to support the work of Gilda’s Club Nashville, a support community for folks impacted by cancer — survivors, family, and friends alike.
Inspired by Dr. Gail Addlestone, Gilda’s Gang is a great way to get fit and give back to the men, women, and children in our community who are living with cancer.
The program includes:
- Free access to Vanderbilt Dayani Center beginning Jan. 2
- Fitness specialists to lead group run/walks on Sat. at 8 a.m.
- Personalized program (run, walk, run/walk) with weekly workout schedule
- Discount code for CMM Half Marathon entry fee
- Personalized online fundraising page
- Official team technical shirt
- Post-race team awards celebration
Each team member is asked to raise a minimum of $750 to support the free programs at Gilda’s Club. The $25 registration fee will be credited to your fundraising total.
Information sessions will be 5:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. on January 9 at the Gilda’s Clubhouse or Saturday, Jan. 14 at 9 a.m., which also kicks off our training.
