Yuvraj's affiliation with Jack was not limited to the encouraging words, as his foundation YouWeCan is also supporting the latter's incredible journey.

"When life drew the finish line, @jfaint1 chose to run beyond it, turning a terminal diagnosis into a movement of courage and purpose," Yuvraj wrote on X.

"His 4,000-kilometre run from Leh to Kanyakumari is inspiring countless people to believe that strength has no limits.

"@youwecan is proud to support Jack in this incredible journey and to stand beside him as he runs to raise awareness, hope, and belief for everyone fighting their own battles.

"Hats off to your indomitable spirit, Jack. You remind us that nothing is impossible when you choose to keep going," he added.

Yuvraj's cancer diagnosis in 2011 shocked the cricketing world, coming just as he was riding high on India’s ODI World Cup triumph. His personal battle soon became a larger mission. In 2012, after completing treatment in the US, Yuvraj and his mother Shabnam Singh launched YouWeCan, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting cancer in India.

"Hats off to your indomitable spirit, Jack. You remind us that nothing is impossible when you choose to keep going," he added.
