er of Gilda Radner, and Marcia
Gershenson of Birmingham at the Gilda's
Club Family Walk Sept. 13.
More than 1,000 walkers participat-
ed in the 10th annual Gilda's Club
Family Walk on Sept. 13. The walk
benefits the club started by eight
founding members who believed
strongly in the late comedienne
Gilda Radner's dream of providing a
supportive place available to all
touched by cancer.
The walk has become an impor-
tant fund-raising element of the
organization, raising money that
helped establish a house in Royal
Oak, which recently added a 3,500-
square-foot addition, which more
than doubles the existing space.
The eight founding members are
Marcia Gershenson of Birmingham,
Jacqueline Grekin of Farmington
Hills, Sherry Medsker of Franklin,
Maureen Martinez of Bloomfield

Feldman fought hard before suc-

father of four children and a
Congregation Shaarey Zedek mem-
ber, he underwent two liver trans-
plants, but tried to raise awareness
of the disease and to raise money to
help find a cure, said his wife, Julie.
Last year, when he discovered the
"Liver Walk," a 6K family walk in
Lower Huron Metropark in
Belleville, he made it his mission to
get people to participate, said Julie.
"We put together 'Team Felds,'
made T-shirts and gathered as many
friends and family as we could," she
said.
Jeff made a decision to partici-
pate, arid walked half the course.
