Beginnings "I would like to applaud Noam (a friend) and Alli's Journey for their efforts. Cancer is a terrible disease, and it was awful to witness it take my big sister from me - who was in every other way a completely healthy physically fit young woman- from this world. [...] I commend Alli's Journey for providing support to these young adults who need it most, as well as their contribution to cancer research." I personally think that the charity is amazing. I admire it's versatility, having changed their efforts over time, always being there for those who need support each in their own ways. When we met with a representative I really understood how rewarding it was to see that you have made a difference and had a positive impact on young adults who are on this difficult journey. ~ Connie The $5000 would go towards stabilizing the foundation, funding growth, and expanding the charity's voice. Alli's Journey is a small charity that has been going through a period of transition recently, with a board reset and little external activity in 2013. 2014 is a new year and a new opportunity to make an impact on the community. Why is this important? ~Mr. Jordan Shapiro (brother of Alli Shapiro-Amar) Volunteering Opportunities "Alli's Journey, I received a comfort bag through Wellspring just in time for Christmas and wanted to send my thanks and pay it forward so someone else can receive one. Thank you" Lifelong friends made through participating in events Young people learn that the community cares about their fight Helps young cancer patients regain a sense of who they are "From the moment I walked through the doors of Wellspring, I felt comfort and support and a bond with others that only people experiencing cancer could feel."

It will be given to them privately (due to privacy issues), but you will know that you have made a difference. Long-term Impacts Mainly makes donations to projects During recent times of transition, money has gone to administrative costs Minimal amounts to their own programs in the past year (9%) The cancer rate in young adults is rising. Comfort Bags Spending Total revenue: $33,783 What YOU can do I think that a charity like Alli's Journey is a rare thing. It's small and simple, and focused on helping young adults. Cancer is rising in this age group, and they need support. I think it's great that the charity focuses on this overlooked age demographic. While researching treatments and studying cancer is extremely important, support for cancer patients is equally so. Alli's Journey is a place that helps young adults struggling with this disease push through and live their lives as full as they can, and I think that's a great mission. Cancer is a very personal topic for so many people and it has touched so many lives. You've all seen the statistics, and there are so few charities that help patients of this huge demographic.
