I am so happy to share two pieces of great news. First, we've purchased the building that will become the GCTC Clubhouse PR Release > and we've begun
to transform it into a healing space for anyone living with cancer. Second, we've launched our bright, shiny
new website > our online "command center." There you can share your stories of hope, find resources and information, and help us reach our $3 million goal to open our clubhouse by participating in our
"Paint the Door Red Campaign >." What a month!

| My Story: Interview with Renée Garpestad, Ed.D.
Gilda's Club Twin Cities board member, author, speaker, and 13 year breast cancer survivor.
GG: When did you learn you had cancer?
RG: I was only 39 years old and up to that point my life had not been touched by cancer at all--until I discovered a lump in my breast during a monthly self-exam. The next thing I knew I was in my doctor's office that same morning. My suspicions were confirmed and I began my lengthy cancer journey.
