About Me
Hi, I'm Maira Mahadevia, a student studying in 11th grade of HillSpring International School. Raising money for child cancer is deeply important to me because it directly supports children and their families during one of the most challenging times in their lives. I believe that every child deserves a chance to grow and thrive, and contributing to this cause can provide access to that. My aim is to create awareness and participate in the marathon, knowing that every effort can make a tangible difference in a child’s fight against cancer. Please help me raise money and support this cause in any way that you see fit ; It would be greatly appreciated!
Appeal
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 Tata Mumbai Marathon will contribute to supporting hundreds of children at our partner hospitals in Mumbai 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.
