Regarding her association with the BCYW Foundation, Anjali Nauriyal shared that she plans to promote awareness regarding breast cancer in young women, especially within educational institutions and community settings. The Foundation is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to saving lives through research, education, and survivorship and it focuses exclusively on women below 40 years of age, which is an age group presently witnessing a rising incidence of breast cancer globally. The BCYW Foundation envisions a future where deaths of young women from breast cancer become exceedingly rare.<\/p>\n
The BCYWF vision is to work together with other non-profit organizations with a shared mission of saving the lives of young breast cancer patients by reaching out to younger women with knowledge and tools for early detection of breast cancer, by engaging inspiring breast cancer survivors and patients to spread the message of hope and strengths to others, and fund advance BCYW research. To sustain these goals for the general good of society, the BCYW Foundation significantly depends on individual contributions; collaborations with local, national, and international partners and collaborators; and support from corporate sponsors.<\/p>\n
