Anyone who knows me knows that I've had loved ones affected by cancer. We founded With Demetri's Help in honor of my friend Demetri who passed away from the disease back in 2010. He was an incredible human being and spirit. Ever since his passing I have been motivated to raise awareness, raise funds, and kick cancer's butt--pretty much.
I want to run this ARMY Ten-Miler in honor of him and everyone else who lost their battle to cancer too soon. I also want to run for those who are still fighting so fiercely today. To do that I need your help!!! I have a fund-raising goal of $500.00 to reach before October and anything you could contribute would be AMAZING! Everyone is affected by cancer in one way or another and it would be awesome to have your support to run this race. I promise to kick butt for all of you!!
God bless those who have or have had this disease and all of our service men and women. Thank all of you!!!

The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults changes lives by creating a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, as they fight cancer and embrace survivorship.
With your support, The Ulman Cancer Fund is able to provide multiple support services and resources for the young adult cancer community, including:
-
Cancer to 5K - A free, progressive, 12-week run/walk program designed to reintroduce cancer survivors to physical activity.
-
Helping Others Fight - A volunteer program that provides basic services – such as transportation to and from treatment, yard work, home repairs, delivery of chemo care bags – to local cancer patients and their families so they can focus their energy on their battle with cancer and their well-being.
-
Patient Navigation - A free program - onsite at cancer centers and remote - that ensures no young adult ever faces cancer alone. We provide one-on-one personal support and 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.
Thank you for making these programs and our mission possible.
