Over the Edge for Cancer Support

press release: When someone you love hears the words, “You have cancer,” it can be devastating. Where can you turn? Gilda’s Club Madison: where free emotional support, cancer education, and healthy living activities are available to anyone affected by any kind of cancer. But the organization can’t do it alone.
Gilda’s Club is looking for 75 daring community members to come together on Sunday, July 24, to push themselves to the limit, raising $1,000 then rappelling fourteen stories down the Hilton Madison Monona Terrace. The goal of this event is to raise $75,000 to help underwrite the free programs offered by Gilda’s Club. Registration is preferred by July 14, to allow for fundraising time.
A Gilda’s Club member recently told us, “We found Gilda’s club amidst the anger, depression, and grief of Vince’s cancer reappearing. The support groups enabled us to leave the rage at the club and go home and simply love each other. They saved our lives – they enabled us to remember how to live our lives while we were so focused on trying to save Vince’s life.” Your support of Over The Edge will help ensure that no one in our community has to face cancer alone. Join us!
