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
During my childhood days, I wanted to be an actor. I had been a part of many TV-serials & theatre performances. In July 2011, I was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (blood cancer). I was treated in Kolkata Medical College Hospital for 3 years with 8 cycles of chemotherapy. I had oral chemo "Atra” which used to make me very tired, nauseous & have headaches. But with the support of the medical staff & my family, I’m fully cured today.
Now, I'm studying BA in filmmaking at Goenka College(Mumbai). I had once dreamt to make a movie about cancer & now I am determined to make it over the next 15 years. Finally, I know from my personal experience that we can overcome cancer. Let us create awareness about childhood cancer & help society.
