Doug Ulman has dealt with several crises in his life, but his upbringing has led him to approach those with the perspective that anything is possible. As a three-time survivor of cancer, that perspective has not only served him well — it’s been proven out time and time again. 

After overcoming chondrosarcoma during his sophomore year of college and malignant melanoma twice since, Doug and his family founded the Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and connecting young adults, their families, and friends who are affected by cancer. Doug is also the President and CEO of Pelotonia, a nonprofit raising funds for life-saving cancer research.
