Is YWiConnect for me?
If you were diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 45, yes. Living Beyond Breast Cancer’s Young Women’s Initiative introduced this service so that you can be sure you’re receiving the latest news and updates about programs and services developed just for you.
How does YWiConnect work?
YWiConnect is a text service that users sign-up for to receive text updates directly to their phone. The service is provided for free (message and data rates may apply in some cases).
What’s the benefit?
Text messages provide news and updates about currently available resources and those being developed for women diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 45, and ways to connect with other young women like you.
Who send me the texts?
Texts are sent directly from Living Beyond Breast Cancer to those who’ve signed up for the service. Numbers are not shared and messages cannot be sent between users.
How do I sign up?
