I am thrilled to be joining the Key to Keys Experience this year! This weeklong bike journey from Baltimore to Key West enables us to raise awareness and funding to support young adults impacted by cancer. My reason for riding this year is simple – I am riding to help create community for all those who are affected by a young adult’s cancer diagnosis. The element of community for hope, healing, and joy is critical, and Ulman Foundation is very successful at creating and supporting community for young adult cancer patients in a variety of ways. This year, the Ulman House in Baltimore welcomed their very first patient – a community solely dedicated to taking care of young adults and their caregivers while they are receiving cancer treatment in the Baltimore area. Your donation will help ensure Ulman continues to provide this incredible service to young adults fighting cancer. Thank you so very much!
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!
