When her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, Yael Cohen decided to use the "F word" to fight the "C word."

Yael is founder, president, and CCF (Chief Cancer Fucker) of FCancer, a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading the word about the importance of early detection -- and one that does things very differently.

In a very short time, FCancer attracted thousands of Gen Y Millenials, including a host of A-list celebrities, who have participated in the movement and are using their influence to foster awareness and gather support from the public.

Yael has quickly become an influential member of the not-for-profit world. She was invited to participate at the Summit Series in Washington D.C., Miami and Tahoe, Calif., and has participated in the Next Generation Leadership discussions at the White House, the Clinton Global Initiative, TED Women, TEDGlobal, TEDMED and the UN Nexus conference.

The Globe and Mail named Yael one of 12 people who are transforming philanthropy, and Chatelaine Magazine listed her one of the "Hot 20 Under 30" for her influence in the non-profit sector. Finally, she was named one of Fast Company's Most Creative People in Business for 2012.
