About Me

Hemal Bhuptani

Passionate runner for the past 7 years | 4 full marathons | 5 ultra marathons On 18th January 2026, I’ll be running the Tata Mumbai Marathon once again—not just for the love of running, but to raise funds for CanKids KidsCan, an organization dedicated to supporting children battling cancer across India.

I believe each of us has the power to make this world a kinder place. No contribution is too small—together, every step and every donation adds up to hope for these brave kids.

I humbly invite my friends to give what you might spend on a family dinner. That simple gesture can go a long way in changing lives.

Thank you for standing with me. Let’s join hands, spread the word, and say loud and clear: Cancer Ko Dhishoom! ?

Appeal

Did you know that if a child has cancer in the USA, their chances of survival are 80 to 90%. But in India, it is 35%. But it doesn't have to be that way. Founded in 2004 by Poonam Bagai, herself a cancer survivor, CanKidsKidsCan - The National Society For Change For Childhood Cancer In India aims to change that. Creating real and visible impact CanKids has driven access to care for kids with cancer from 29% to 53% by 2025, with a goal of 100% access, 100% financial protection, and 60% survival by 2030.

CanKids partners with hospitals, medical professionals, and state governments to move India towards 100% access2care & higher survival rates for children with cancer. They enable best standards of treatment, care and support across 141 partner centers in 53 cities and 22 states of India. Catering to primarily underprivileged families, CanKids serves the underserved, ensuring avoidance of financial hardship.

Your donation goes towards medical treatment, blood work, nutrition, counseling, education of a child with cancer. Together we can bring light into dark and shine the way for more children with cancer to #surviveandthrive.
