The LifeLab

As many of you know, I have been working diligently for over a year to get my own non-profit, The New York LifeLab off the ground. Well, the fruits of my labor are starting to pay off. We now have 501(c)(3) status, partnerships with among the best cancer support organizations in the city, and things are really starting to take off!

I believe I posted about this before, but The LifeLab is all about helping young adult survivors (20s and 30s) in the "re-entry" period after treatment. Our objective is to help survivors examine their lives after cancer and give them tools to get on with the job of living without cancer - via counseling, psychosocial support, an internship program, and lots of other really innovative and cool projects (if I don't say so myself. :)

We will be launching fully in the fall. For now, please visit our website - www.nylifelab.org for more info (and if you are interested in making a tax-deductible donation, you can do that there too, which would be wonderful!)

Lots of love,
Jodi
