Cancer changes lives....and so do WE!! I could have never imagined these seven words would impact my life the way they have over the last 5 years.
Over 70,000 young adults (ages 15-39) are diagnosed with cancer every year. Unfortunately, most of the people I know have some sort of connection with cancer - whether a loved one has it, a friend is battling, or someone they know has been taken too soon by this ugly disease. My journey with the Ulman Cancer Fund and Team Fight began in 2011 after the diagnosis of a friend motivated me to sign up for my first 5k. Since then, I have finished multiple race distances and even a few triathlons - events that I never would have even thought about doing without the encouragement and support of the Team Fight family.
I am so honored to come back as an alumni rider for the 2017 Key to Keys team. Over 8 days in April, we will ride our bikes from Key Highway in Baltimore to Key West, FL in an effort to raise funds and awareness for UCF. The money raised by the Key to Keys team will support vital programs and services, including a UCF patient navigator at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
I hope you will consider a donation (in someone's honor or memory) to join me in the fight against cancer and support those fighting cancer. Cancer changes lives...and so can YOU!!
The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer. With your support, the Ulman Cancer Fund is able to provide free support services and resources for the young adult cancer community including:
Cancer to 5K - a 12-week training program designed to introduce or reintroduce cancer survivors to physical activity.
Patient Navigation - a free program (onsite at cancer centers and remotely through our office) that ensures no young adult ever faces cancer alone. We provide one-on-one support & resources to young adults and their families to help them manage the cancer expereience and long-term cancer survival.
Scholarships - a financial assistance program to help young adults continue their education after being affected by cancer through their own diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one.
Your donation will help make these programs and our mission possible!
