A very good friend of mine was recently diagnosed with cancer. She is fighting back (and if you've been following her blog that's linked on the right, Adjusting the Sails, you're well familiar with how inspiring and wonderful she is)! And while she is fighting her own battle, she and her husband have established a foundation for young adults who have also been diagnosed with cancer. From their website:
Young adults, aged 19-39, make up less than 10% of all cancer patients, but this age group is the least likely to survive. Several factors contribute to the low survival rate including delays in diagnosis, a shortage of age-tailored treatments, as well as lack of patient health insurance and financial resources.
Such a great cause, I wanted to share with you all. You can find the website here: http://www.theflyfoundation.org/
