Written by Judith Fulmer

Judith Fulmer discovered her passion for youth cancer advocacy when her youngest child was diagnosed with T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma, a form of childhood leukemia, at the age of 13.  Caring for her daughter and observing the unique challenges faced by teen and young adult pediatric cancer patients led Judith to reach out to leaders and legislators on the state and national level to address their unmet and vastly overlooked needs.  She is a strong professional with a background in science/engineering and education and holds a B.S. in Radiological Health Engineering and a M.S. in Health Physics from Texas A&M University.  Judith is the wife of Philip and mother of four young adult children.  She resides in Marion, SC, USA
