At the age of 28, I was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer. From there everything was a blur...doctor's appointments, moving to NYC for treatment, radiation, chemo, moving home in just a little over 3 months. When i got back home, I felt lost and confused. I remember thinking, what did I just do? What just happened to me? Adjusting to life after cancer was hard. Since I did not know any other young adult cancer survivors, I did not feel anyone understood what I was going through. I felt alone. Fast forward almost 10 years, when I found the Ulman Foundation. I have been lucky enough to patriciate in the Cancer to 5K program. I now know an amazing group of people that I can talk with and who understand. I am excited to be participating as a driver in the 2019 Key to Keys. I get to spread the message of the Ulman Foundation to those who need it most. My hope is I will be able to reach someone (or multiple someones) that need the Ulman Foundation's programs and resources. No one should feel lost and alone because of cancer.
CHALLENGE:
Over 72,000 young adults are diagnosed with cancer every year. Young adults (ages 15-39) face a variety of unique challenges with a cancer diagnosis including fertility preservation, social isolation, lack of insurance, delayed diagnosis, and more.
SOLUTION:
Ulman Foundation changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, impacted by cancer. With your support, Ulman 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 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.
Ulman House - This year Ulman will open a “home away from home” to provide free housing for young adult cancer patients, and their caregivers, in East Baltimore.
Your donation will help make these programs and our mission possible!
