Published January 23, 2009 @ 09:43AM PT
CCC's incredible founder, Carolyn Rubenstein is one of the top ten finalists for the NIKE / Lance Armstrong Foundation's Give 100% person of the year.
VOTE HERE http://www.livestrong.com/give100/finalist/327-carolyn-rubenstein/
There are SO MANY reasons Carolyn deserves to win this award. She is a selfless, kind and giving young adult who has dedicated her life to helping young adult cancer survivors:
1. At the age of 15 she started a non-profit that gives college scholarships to young adults with cancer so that the cost of treating cancer doesn't take away their chance to go to college
2. She is writing a book chronicling the journeys of children and adolescents growing up with cancer
3. She is earning her PhD at Harvard as a clinical psychologist and spends all of her time (when she is not writing a book or running CCC) counseling young adults with cancer through the trauma of having a life-threatening illness
If those reasons aren't enough, check out more of her philanthropic endeavors at http://www.cccscholarships.org
Please vote for Carolyn! Go to http://www.livestrong.com/give100/finalist/327-carolyn-rubenstein/
It will take one minute of your time, and today is the last day to vote.
Lastly, Carolyn's favorite phrase Care.Commit.Change says it all. She believes that change begins with caring. Show that you CARE about helping young adult cancer survivors by supporting Carolyn's work with your vote. http://www.livestrong.com/give100/finalist/327-carolyn-rubenstein/
