The advancements in cancer diagnosis and treatments have grown exponentially over the last two decades. We see a significant number of people living longer with Cancer by taking advanced treatments and therapies. However, there is still a large section of the population falling prey to cancer, because of late diagnosis and non-affordability to treatments.

" Put your Running Shoes on for

A Good Cause "

Virtually every family in India has a cancer story. There are survivors who braved the odds. And then there are families who have lost loved ones to the disease. Recent studies show that the Pandemic may have slowed progress in cancer care. However, the disease has shown a steady increase in the countryand notably, India has the highest growth rate of cancer across the globe.

Given this scenario, we believe that the time is right to raise awareness about cancer and the need to do regular preventive checks in order to detect and arrest the disease in its early phase. The funds raised will be used for cancer research and also to fund treatment of underprivileged patients requiring world class cancer care
