Two years ago I received one of the biggest shocks of my life: I had cancer. Since that day I've endured 4 months of agressive chemo, multiple surgeries, scans, tests, transfusions and now 18 months of continued fighting to regain and maintain my health. Throughout this period in my life my friends and family have supported me, but so have the awesome people from Ulman. I've walked and run two 5ks through the Cancer to 5K program, and been to many Where YA Meet events, along with other events. I'm very excited to join the 2018 Key to Keys ride to give other cancer patients, survivors, and their supporters the chance to benefit from the variety of services offered by UCF.
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!
