Hi Family and Friends,

I am riding my bike from the Key Bridge to Key West again this year for Ulman Foundation! As some of you may know, last year's ride changed my life and I had an amazing experience while helping to meet, ride and support young cancer patients along the way. This year has brought some magnificent changes for Ulman because of the completion of their new Ulman House that provides shelter and food - absolutely free for families of patients here in Baltimore. It's simply spectacular! Unfortunately today, we also said goodbye to one of our teammates, John Shephard, who was a wonderful, bright, funny spirit. It is in his honor (along with that of my dear mother's-who also passed on this day 21 years ago) that I ride this year, as John had announced how happy he was to ride in the K2K 2019 before falling ill. Your support means everything! I need to raise $4500.00 to ride and will promise to honor your loved ones affected by cancer by pushing as hard as I can. THANK YOU. xoxo Terri

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!
