ABOUT ME

Hey, I'm Kaivalya, a 17-year-old 12th grader at The Shri Ram School Aravali in Gurgaon. I’m passionate about fitness, and I’m excited to be running my first marathon to raise funds for the Cuddles Foundation, an NGO that helps children navigate their battle with cancer. I can’t wait to make a difference!

MY APPEAL

The Vedant Delhi Half Marathon is back, and I am running the 4.5 Kms race to raise awareness and funds to support Cuddles Foundation.

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 their 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.

Help me help them!

RAISING FUNDS FOR

Cuddles Foundation

We are Cuddles Foundation, India’s only NGO providing clinically managed nutrition to underserved children fighting cancer at government and charity-funded hospitals.

The backbone of our programme is a team of highly trained pediatric oncology nutritionists. They help manage our all-round nutrition programme that combines data-driven diet counselling, necessary food aid, and emotional support to over 18,000 children and their families in India.

We believe that no child should have to fight cancer on an empty stomach. Over a decade, we’ve grown and expanded the reach of this vision to 40+ hospitals across 14 states.
