About Me

Hi, I’m Yogesh—a cyclist, trekker, traveller, and finance professional who’s passionate about staying active and giving back.

On 18th Jan 2026, I’ll be running the Tata Mumbai Marathon 10k to raise funds for CanKids KidsCan, supporting children fighting cancer across India.

I’ve been blessed with health, family support, and the freedom to pursue my passions. Now it’s time to pay it forward. Even a small donation—what you’d spend on a dinner—can make a big impact for these brave kids.

Let’s come together and do Cancer Ko Dhishoom 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.
