About
Nearly 70,000 Americans between 15-40 are diagnosed with cancer each year and 10,000 will not survive, numbers 7x greater than those in pediatrics. Unlike every other age group, there has been no improvement in the 5-year survival of young adults since 1976.
This is not OK.
Founded in 2007 by young adult survivors and for young adult survivors, the I’m Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation is a global leader in the fight against cancer working exclusively on behalf of survivors and their care providers under the age of 40.
A TIME Magazine Best 50 Website for 2007, we have helped bring the cause of ‘cancer under 40′ to the national spotlight and rallied a brand new generation of activists to improve early detection, advocacy, research and support for this forgotten population.
Our mission is to empower young adults affected by cancer by (1) reducing late detection, (2) ending isolation, (3) improving quality of life, and (4) providing meaningful survivorship.
