Support My Campaign
Tata Mumbai Marathon 2024
‘CanKids…KidsCan’ is an organization that works towards providing the 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 honour 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.
About Me
I was representing my school in cricket & wanted to be a professional cricketer. But at the age of 16, I was diagnosed with a form of bone & soft tissue cancer. I got cured in 1.5 years with 9 cycles of chemotherapy & 3 surgeries. I want to tell people that if one has cancer, one has to face it like any other disease & take treatment as soon as possible since cancer is curable and once cured, one can pursue anything one wants to undertake.
Currently, I am in Grade 12 and interested in pursuing a course in computer science next year. I am also into photography & hope to move to a professional level over the next 10 years.
In TMM 2019, I had participated in the 6km run. This year, I am pushing myself further by running 10kms.
