Childhood Cancer Awareness Walkathon (13th February, 2021)

"Cancer is a word, not a sentence"

We all are familiar with the devastating and crumbling effects of cancer. Cancer is a disease which kills you from the inside. One needs a lot of will power and hope for fighting against this rueful disease. We are fortunate enough to have been born healthy but the same does not apply to everyone. Some kids are born with the disease or acquire it during their early years of childhood. To uplift the spirits of the kids and to spread awareness about childhood cancer, we held a procession and a visit to the child cancer ward at M.P. Shah Cancer Hospital.

In the beginning, a march with banners was held to spread awareness about childhood cancer. We then further proceeded towards the child cancer ward at the hospital. Kits which consisted of chocolates, drawing books, a cap and some packets of "chocos" (chocolate cereals) were distributed to the kids. It was not only soothing and heart warming to see a smile glow up on the faces of the kids but also really fulfilling to see that we could lend a hand in their fight against cancer.

Special thanks to Lion Roopa Shah (Director Childhood Cancer) for allowing us to be a part of this lovely and engrossing initiative.

The pandemic has once again risen to its utmost potential and has now become even more dangerous with no beds available in the hospitals, non-availability of doctors over phone calls, shortage of basic oral medicines and no signs of remdesivir injection in the pharmacies and with a waiting time of over 36 hours for a government ambulance (104, 108).Even if you get your own private ambulance with hefty amounts of money, you have to wait for over a period of no less than 8 hours in the queue outside hospital; you can consider yourself very lucky if you succeed in getting an ambulance with oxygen. Its a fight against death from home with only your family members beside you. You...
