70,000 Americans between 15-40 are diagnosed with cancer each year. That’s one every eight minutes. It’s also seven times more than all childhood cancers combined. This is not OK!
Founded by and for young adults affected by cancer, The I’m Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation is the nation’s largest support community for the next generation of patients, survivors and caregivers between 15-40.
A TIME Magazine Best 50 website and FOX News Top 10 Healthcare Blog, we support a global following and hundreds of thousands of friends, fans, readers, listeners and members. Since our launch in 2007, we have helped bring the cause of ‘cancer under 40′ to the national spotlight and rallied a brand new crop of activists to give a much needed voice to our forgotten population.
Our mission is to empower young adults affected by cancer by building community, improving quality of life and providing meaningful survivorship.

Matthew Zachary was a 21-year old college senior and concert pianist en route to film school when he lost use of his left hand, was diagnosed with pediatric brain cancer (medulloblastoma) and told he'd likely never perform again. Fifteen years, four albums, a wife, twin children and scores of concerts later, Matthew's struggle to get busy living has inspired countless thousands. Today, he is an award-winning recording artist and performer, as well as an accredited thought-leader in public health, an authority on youth culture and a highly credentialed public speaker. A founding member of the Google Health Advisory Council, in 2007 he launched the I'm Too Young For This! Cancer Foundation, which has since become the nation's largest support community for young adults affected by cancer. The foundation was ranked a TIME Magazine Best 50 website and FOX News Top 10 Healthcare Blog and supports a global following of hundreds of thousands of friends, fans, readers, listeners and members. Matthew has helped to bring the cause of 'cancer under 40' to the national spotlight and has rallied a new crop of activists to give a much needed voice to this forgotten population. Matthew has helped to measurably reverse 30 years of disparity and create social lasting change in how the public relates to cancer for the next generation.
