Family & Friends-

This summer I am taking on a new challenge in order to support by wife and daughters in their Iron Girl Triatholon relay. So I have signed up for the Pedal & Paddle event in Columbia, MD. I will be biking to the 23 different pools in the area, and swimming 50 meters in each one. It will be total of 46 mile ride and 1,150 meter swim. Why am I doing this? Is it to get fit? Yes. Is it to be part of my family's workouts? Yes. Is it fun? Yes. But mostly? It's because it's important to raise awareness about cancer and helping those that that have to deal with it. Sometimes I don't want to get up and ride the bike or go to swim practice. But folks fighting cancer don't have those choices, they have to fight everyday. So it reminds me it's the least I can do to help out. So cancer has affected many members of my family, and I hope that one day they find a cure. In the meantime, I want to continue to make my small contribution to those that have to deal with cancer. 

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!
