Year wise Activities
-
- Our ongoing activities include tobacco awareness and preventive oncology campaigns, cancer screening and detection camps, promoting research for betterment of pediatric cancer management and health care, fund raising through cultural events, participation at the Standard Chartered Mumbai marathon, fun activities for C-kids, the little ones afflicted by cancer and creating short awareness films and media campaigns on tobacco misuse.
- The foundation is looking at a larger picture so that we can help patients who are not aware that they can get the help that they so desperately need. In the near future, on a slightly larger scale, we are going to need a mobile screening unit to take to low income urban and rural areas, hospice facilities, and accommodation for needy patients who need to be in Mumbai for a longer period of time.
