A recent article in The Telegram profiles a foundation started in 2008 specifically to raise awareness about the? gap in cancer awareness and resources for patients between the ages 15-40.

According to the article, James W. Coghlin Sr. founded the 15-40 Connection, based in Massachusetts,? to “close the AYA (adolescent and young adult) gap” in survival rates, research, education and awareness for adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 40.

Their new website focuses on the upsetting statistics that show there is no improvement in survival rates for the 15-40 age group. We can see why the foundation’s slogan is, “Mind the Gap.”
