Hello, My name is Gaurav Tanwar. I am a pharmacy graduate with 9 years of experience in pharmaceutical sales and currently work as a Scientific business executive at Servier India. outside of my professional life, I enjoy playing chess, cooking and travelling. I find great fulfillment in helping others, which is why I am participating in this 10 k marathon to raise funds for cancer patients. Recently, I participated in an event organized by cankids, an organization dedicated to supporting cancer patients, which further inspired me to contribute to this cause. So, I am raise funds for cuddle foundation which help the child suffering from cancer.
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 Vedanta Delhi Half Marathon will contribute to supporting hundreds of children at our partner hospitals in Delhi 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.
A big thank you to all those who have donated on this page.
