SUPPORT YSC

Columbus

YSC Central Ohio began in 2002 when co-founders Jill Hymer and Anna Cluxton met at the Annual Conference for Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer. Jennifer Wolfe joined them in 2003 and began to help build the foundation of volunteers that make up YSC Central Ohio. Soon they developed into a networking group and hosted support groups at a local hospital and the Wellness Community. In 2005, the group officially affiliated with the YSC as the Central Ohio Affiliate.

Our goal is to reach out to young women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, those post-treatment and living with advanced breast cancer, along with the medical community and other breast cancer organizations to decrease the sense of isolation felt by young women affected by breast cancer and create a welcoming and educated community. We participate in many events throughout Columbus and collaborate with various breast cancer groups. We also host monthly support groups, educational and social events and fundraising events.
