Yuvraj Singh talks about “YouWeCan” at the launch

Yuvraj Singh is one Indian cricketer who has taken to charity in a big way. Following his heroic battle with cancer, the power hitter formed the “YouWeCan”, an initiative of the Yuvraj Singh Foundation, which aims to tackle cancer at an early stage.

The aim of the initiative is two-fold: create awareness about the disease and eradicate the socio-psychological stigma attached with cancer. It also aims at providing mobile cancer examination stations within the reach of masses, to make routine check- ups a habit.

Yuvraj’s battle with cancer has been an inspirational story, and the batsman has been often heard spreading awareness about it in media.
