I'm Too Young For This.com
Cancer sucks anytime it strikes, but what if you're under 40? This information and resource portal for adolescents and young adults with cancer is the work of Matthew Zachary, a pianist, brain cancer survivor and founder of Steps for Living, a nonprofit advocacy group. The site provides links to and information about support organizations, scholarships and other financial aid opportunities, social networks, summer camps, weekend spa retreats, fertility education, peer counseling—the kinds of support services you don't typically hear about from a doctor. The site also sells a CD with recordings by 21 young adult musicians who "chose to get busy living" when faced with a cancer diagnosis. Proceeds from the album sales support Steps for Living's outreach programs.
