Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!
"AYA stands for “Adolescent and Young Adults,” which is defined as ages 15-39. Each year, 89,500 AYAs will be diagnosed with cancer. AYAs are THE most underserved patient population by age.
AYA cancer patients and survivors face a unique array of challenges each and every day. Major life milestones that are tricky for all young people – like starting a career, finishing college, or finding a romantic partner – can feel impossible when cancer is thrown into the mix." - Stupid Cancer.
Their mission not only resonates with a lot of what I've personally been going through, but more importantly commits to getting the word out that cancer in the AYA community is on the rise and their needs are different and specific.
