This event will honor the late Karlyle Young that recently lost her battle to breast cancer. Known for
her compassion and humor, Karlyle embodied everything that represents good in the world. Not only
was she a beloved mother, wife and friend, she was a pillar of hope and a source of inspiration and
support for fellow patients. Through many rounds of radiation, countless infusions of chemo and
multiple surgeries, she kept a smile on her face – and on the faces of everyone around her. Her
unwavering positivity, constant encouragement and compassionate support have uplifted countless
individuals along their cancer journey. Karlyle’s tireless dedication to attending and actively
participating in all the Baptist Health Corbin cancer support groups has been truly inspirational, as
she consistently fostered an environment of hope, strength, and camaraderie among her fellow
patients.
To honor Karlyle’s fight, her medical team joined together to honor the incredible impact she made on
individuals establishing a fund to benefit patients of the Baptist Health Corbin Cancer Center. The
Karlyle Keith Young Cancer fund will serve as a beacon of hope in the Baptist Health Corbin patients
while providing funds to advance the cancer program to best meet the needs of the patients. Through
this fund, Karlyle is continuing to make a difference for cancer patients from diagnosis to survivorship.
All proceeds from the Dash For A Cure Event will benefit the Baptist Health Karlyle Keith Young
Cancer Fund.
