Natasha Verma
NEWS ANCHOR, CANCER SURVIVOR & FOUNDER OF THE VERMA FOUNDATION

In 2017 as a rising television anchor, what should have been the most exciting time of Natasha Verma’s life suddenly turned into her worst nightmare when she was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 23. After advocating for her health when she was misdiagnosed twice, Natasha pushed through the physical pain of chemotherapy and emotional devastation of hair loss to create a viable solution for women and children with cancer: cap wigs. Towards the end of treatment, Natasha started making and giving free real hair cap wigs to cancer patients across the United States through her 501(c)(3) non-profit, the Verma Foundation. Helping others at a time when she needed help most was the secret to her recovery. Now on a re-mission, Natasha inspires us with her story of conquering cancer and finding purpose.
