I was at a fundraiser for the Hearst Cancer Center in San Luis Obispo, CA a few years back. There were well over a hundred people there and one of the speakers asked people in the room if they had been affected by cancer either personally or through a friend or family member. Every single person in the room raised their hand. Cancer affects us all, and I ride on a mission to help those who have had to endure the pain, the heartache, and the stress that it causes. Thank you for supporting Ulman Cancer Fund.

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.
UCF House - a “home away from home” to provide free housing for young adult cancer patients, and their caregivers, in East Baltimore.
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 experience 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!
