Every year 70,000 young adults between the ages of 15 – 40 are diagnosed with some type of cancer. 10,000 of them will not survive. This statistic has remained unchanged since the 1970s.
BRICKS for Young Adults  Is Building Resources In Cancer Knowledge & Services
Pittsburgh is home to nationally and internationally recognized cancer treatment and research centers, but has no resources devoted entirely to addressing the unique needs of Young Adults diagnosed with cancer.
Until now.
