Amy Zeglinski-Spinney: 2023 winner of the Lorna Rosenstein Award
Amy Zeglinski-Spinney is the third youth volunteer to receive the Lorna Rosenstein Youth Volunteer Leadership Award in as many years.
I am so grateful that I received the support I needed from Gilda’s Toronto – it ultimately saved my life
As the recipient of the Lorna Rosenstein Youth Volunteer Leadership Award, I was matched with a mentor who helped me navigate my grief, Gilda’s Toronto’s own Katie Jacobs, Director of Clinical Programs. We both followed the same higher education path and even attended the same universities! In our time together, Katie talked about her 15 years
I was happy to be paired with someone who shared the same experiences.
