About Me

Hello, my name is Rishaan Shah. I like reading books and learning new things. I like to play football, badminton and video games, my favorite video game is Fortnite. In Badminton i have achieved first place in singles and second place in doubles in my community tournaments.

I also enjoy raising funds for underprivileged people. Previously, I have done a fundraiser for stray dogs by putting up a stall showcasing hand made items on my own. This was a huge success as I raised over ?10000. I am looking forward to work with the Cuddles Foundation, raising money and participating in the Tata Mumbai Marathon.

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.
