Gilda's Club Simcoe Muskoka
Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka opened its Red Door in 2010 after a seven year capital campaign spearheaded by Patricia Gilbert.
Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka provides a place where those with cancer, as well as their families and friends, or people who have lost someone to cancer, can join with others to actively involve themselves in building emotional support.

🌟 Caregiver Burnout: It's Real and It's Important 🌟
Being a caregiver is one of the most selfless and challenging roles one can take on. While taking care of a loved one, it's easy to forget about taking care of yourself. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or exhausted, you might be experiencing caregiver burnout. Here are 5 self-care tips to help you recharge and maintain your well-being:
Take Breaks 🕒
Schedule regular breaks throughout your day. Even short moments of rest can make a big difference. Use this time to relax, meditate, or simply breathe.
Seek Support 🤝
Don't hesitate to reach out to friends, family, or support groups. Sharing your feelings and experiences with others who understand can provide emotional relief and practical advice.
Exercise Regularly 🏃♀️
Physical activity is a great stress reliever. Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise a few times a week. Even a brisk walk can boost your mood and energy levels.
Healthy Eating and Hydration 🥗
Nourish your body with balanced meals and stay hydrated. Avoid relying on caffeine or junk food to get through the day. Proper nutrition fuels both your body and mind.
Engage in a Hobby 🎨
Find time for activities that you enjoy and that relax you. Whether it's reading, gardening, painting, or listening to music, engaging in hobbies can provide a much-needed mental break.
Taking care of yourself isn't selfish—it's essential. Your health and well-being matter. Let's support and uplift our caregivers by reminding them of the importance of self-care. 💖
07/13/2024
🌟 Supporting cancer patients goes beyond medical treatment—it's about creating a community of strength and support. Studies show that strong social networks improve emotional well-being and recovery outcomes for cancer patients. 🎗️💖
Please support Gilda's Club, a place where those living with cancer find community, resources, and hope. Together, we can make a difference. 🌼

Introducing our December 2023 model, Kim!
Kim feels as though her cancer journey is a short one but an important message nonetheless.
After finding cancer on her nose in late 2021, Kim underwent awake surgery while her nose was prodded, cut and stitched.
Kim found a message in her journey - "trust your intuition and fight for proper health care. I had to find my cancer, and I had to fight the doctor to do a second biopsy when I saw another spot."
A special thank you to this month's sponsor - Springwater Pharmacy, for helping us make this year's calendar possible.
