‘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.
With the help of Cankids, I am spreading the message to the society that cancer survivors are no less than a common person and now I want to clear my IIT JEE exams with my talent and willpower. I also play football at a school level and one day, I want to emulate my inspiration Neymar and I believe that one day I will play for India and showcase my dribbling skills.
This is the first time I am running in the Tata Mumbai Marathon. I am running 6 kms this year and I am a little nervous about raising funds for my bib as I am a student and cannot afford to pay that much money. I want to inspire other cancer survivors that they can lead a normal life and do whatever they want to in their lives and I believe that my energy and spirit is going to inspire all around me to become a better version of themselves.
