I'm Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation :: The Voice Of Young Adults

OUR MISSION

To empower young adults affected by cancer by:

reducing late detection
ending isolation
improving quality of life
providing meaningful survivorship

This is what we do to achieve our mission:

CREATE music and art to connect and unite young adults, build community and make it hip to talk openly about their experiences

ADVOCATE on behalf of over 1 million young adult survivors to raise awareness of the 'cancer under 40' movement and drive change

UNDERSTAND the cultural and lifestyle needs of young adult survivors through innovation in affinity market research

SERVE as a global support community that provides 'one-stop' access to hard-to-find resources, peer support and social networks

EDUCATE the young adult community and their medical providers about the significance of prompt detection within this population

OUR VISION

No young adult survivor alone. Ever.

OUR GOAL

Improve both survival rates and quality of life for young adults living with, though and beyond cancer, while empowering them to achieve their peak potential and get busy living through their survivorship.
