Club Nautico .......................... 20 Florida Marlins ....................... 10 Gilda?s Club: Radner?s Legacy

Living with Cancer? Come as you are! When comedienne Gilda Radner, was in treatment for advanced ovarian cancer, visited a cancer support

community in Los Angeles, she suddenly discovered that she was not alone. She found she shared the same fears that no one,

not even caring family and friends, could possibly understand. By sharing her confusion about treatments, relationships, sexuality; and

the thousands of other challenges faced by other people with cancer, Gilda reclaimed her sense of humor, the essence of which had never

truly deserted her. As she put it, ?I joined an elite club that I?d rather not belong to.? Gilda?s Club started with that wonderful

play on Groucho Marx?s famous quip. In voicing it, Gilda captured the unique combination of camaraderie, friendship,

humor, ambiguity, fear and hope that arises when people face cancer in our community - whether they are a person with

cancer, family member or friend. A ?clubhouse? where men, women and children share their hopes and fears,

wisdom and information, learning together how to live with cancer, whatever the outcome, provides the warm

and welcoming site of the cancer support community that is now part of Gilda Radner?s legacy. Gilda?s Club®, now

with 20 locations worldwide, is a free, non-profit, social and emotional support . . . by: John Bell
