Short Summary:
Matt Coulter and Nathaniel Curran created The Young and
Brave Foundation back in 2010, when a close friend of theirs was diagnosed with cancer. The diagnosis
came as a complete shock and was the last thing anyone in our hometown
expected. Matt and Nathaniel rallied around their friend, and worked to
raise money and community awareness to help pay medical expenses and
help the family stay afloat. It was nothing short of amazing.
From this, came the realization that 1 in 4
people will be affected by cancer in their lifetime, and there were
many more families in need. Thus, came a passion for helping others and
inspiring us to do the same. In 2011, The Young and Brave Foundation
received its 501(c)(3) status and began to build their organization on a
foundation of LOVE. Today they help children, teens, young adults
battling cancer and their families by helping to cover the cost of
medical bills and other hardships brought on by this disease.
What We Need:
The Young and Brave runs off donations, and while they continue to grow everyday, they still need our help.
The guys put all their free time in to the foundation, and on top of their full-time jobs they can only do so much.
Blogging is about community, and just as we create community the guys at The Young and Brave strive to create community in the wake of a devastating disease.
