TIME Magazine Recognizes Young Adults Cancer Movement

Postby matthewzachary » Fri Jul 20, 2007 9:49 am

http://ImTooYoungForThis.org was ranked TIME Magazine Best 50 Websites 2007. This is a huge vistory for the young adult cancer survivor movement. TIME Magazine has given our voices – NOW ONE MILLION STRONG – the critical boost it needed to bring our cause to the national spotlight. We've gone underserved for too damn long and now it's our time to make the case for change. We're pissed, we're mobilized and – most importantly – [b]WE ARE STILL HERE[b]!

Stupid Cancer. Survivors rock.
