Hello! My name is Carolyn Barrett and this March I will be running in my first marathon! I originally became involved with The Ulman Cancer Fund in 2013 when I biked across the country with 4K For Cancer. It was the most incredible, fulfilling and challenging 70 days. I loved every minute of it! That summer sparked in me a desire to continue to test my limits. I've always wanted to run a marathon, but it's always been a thought, never an action....until now. I once again have the honor of partnering with The Ulman Cancer Fund to raise funds and awareness for a cause bigger than me, making each of those 26.2 miles all the more rewarding.

Please consider donating to my marathon and to this amazing organization!

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 and 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 remotely through our office) that ensures no young adult ever faces cancer alone. We provide one-on-one 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 all your time and effort to help make these programs and our mission possible!
