A Link Buddies Can't Live Without

On 9News Now @ 5AM, the LINK YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT segment dealt with a serious subject--cancer.

I'm Too Young For This-dot-org is a support site for cancer survivors and care providers under the age of 40.
The foundation that runs the site is an advocacy, support and research organization.
Their mission is to provide one-stop access to resources for people under 40...
...to educate providers on behalf of young adults....
...to gain a better understanding of the needs of survivors...
...and to connect survivors through music and the arts so they can talk about their own experiences.
