‘CanKids…KidsCan’ is an organization that works towards providing best standards of treatment care and support services for children with cancer and their families. It provides support from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment, and hopefully, after into survivorship. And for the families of the fallen heroes, bereavement support and counselling, to honor and cope the ones that had lived. The organization aims to provide holistic support to families of children with cancer under its signature model, the YANA – You are not Alone Program, that is delivered through CanKids Hospital Support Units and CanKids Care Centers.
Today, CanKids East, along with Aman Barnwal, are here to raise funds for CanKids at the Tata Mumbai Marathon. Blood cancer hit him when he was in 11th grade. It took him 1 brain surgery, 4 chemotherapies and 10 radiation therapies to win his battle with blood cancer. He is a runner. He is a survivor. He is making my little contribution by running and raising funds through Tata Mumbai Marathon 2019 in dream run category. The raised funds will be utilised to support diagnosis, painless treatment and quality care for children with cancer in India.
