Incredibly, nearly 70,000 Young Adults between 15-39 are diagnosed with cancer each year. 10,000 will not survive. This is a very important stat for me, because I fall in this category.

That means many young adults have the same chance of getting cancer and dying from it as they did in the 1970's. This is not OK.
