Charity Cyclists for Young Adults Diagnosed with Cancer
A MESSAGE FROM ALLYSON WHITNEY FOUNDATION
HELP OUR CHARITY CYCLISTS MEET THEIR PERSONAL GOALS TO THE COVETED 2024 TD FIVE BORO BIKE TOUR in NYC on May 5th, 2024 while they graciously raise funds for the Allyson Whitney pursuits. AWF provides 'Life Interrupted Grants' to young adult patients diagnosed with rare cancers, to ease their financial burden, so they can concentrate on healing. We aid in a global wide research data base for a rare cancer SCCC, also providing HOPE comfort bags to oncology suites.
The organization is volunteer based and we are passionate about what we do.
Facts There are 85,000 young adults (16-36) diagnosed every year in the United States. Cancer is a global issue. In 20 years, survival rates have not greatly improved for young adults with cancer worldwide. There are limited resources for treatment and young adult cancer patients have unique needs. Young adults patients are caught between pediatric and adult care; in most cases the diagnosis is a rarer form of the main disease.
How your donation helps** $20 - $100 SUPER SUPPORTER! Providing a coffee/tea gift card or a HOPE comfort bag for a cancer patient.
$500 - $1,000 You are a CHAMPION in the hearts of our warriors, lending a hand with medical bills, a month's rent & alleviate stress.
$1,500 - You are a LUMINARY, bringing light, by providing a full 'Life Interrupted Grant'.
Our inspiration Ally, 25 years young, was taken from us way too soon from cancer. Ally could be your daughter, sister, family or friend.
Ally's words resonate with us still today, "In order to go through this, you need to have HOPE."
Won’t you lend a supportive hand to give hope? ALL CANCERS MATTER, even rare ones.
