About Me

Hi i’m Ahaanna and i’m 13. I’ve always hated the idea of running since I was a kid ever since I ran laps in tennis class. That changed when I started working out a year ago with SOHFIT. The idea of cardio now always puts a smile to my face because I love pushing myself and choosing a goal to complete. Now every time I go out, I walk there because running and walking helps me clear my mind and relaxes me instantly. This is my first marathon and I would love to be supported by you guys. Your support will encourage me as well as support children dealing with cancer. I’m super grateful to run for such an important cause like this.

Appeal

Childhood cancer can be cured. But for children in India, it’s a very different story. Lack of access to timely treatment and malnutrition among those seeking treatment makes survival difficult for children.
~76,000 adolescents (age 0-19) may develop cancer every year in India of which ~ 40% are malnourished at diagnosis. Malnutrition has a serious impact on cancer treatment, because treatments like chemotherapy may lead to side effects, complications, risk of infections, etc.

Cuddles Foundation is India's only NGO dedicated to helping children combat cancer through holistic nutrition. Cuddles has partnered with top government hospitals and charity cancer treatment centers to address the nutrition gap in Indian childhood cancer care. Through their FoodHeals® Program, Cuddles provides year-round holistic nutrition support to children and their families in 40+ hospitals across India.

The funds raised via Tata Mumbai Marathon will contribute to supporting hundreds of children at our partner hospitals in Mumbai with ration bundles, supplements, meals & counseling.

Every step you take and the donation you make will be a direct source of nourishment, hope, and healing for little cancer warriors who just can’t wait to get well and be kids again.
