About Me
I support Cuddles Foundation because they address a crucial yet often overlooked need for children fighting cancer in India: nutrition. Nearly 40% of kids diagnosed with cancer in India are malnourished, which makes treatments like chemotherapy even harder to endure and less effective. Cuddles’ FoodHeals® Program provides these children with meals, ration bundles, supplements, and counseling across 40+ hospitals, helping them build strength and resilience.
The funds raised through the Tata Mumbai Marathon directly support these kids, offering them not just nourishment but hope and a chance to be kids again. I’m proud to support Cuddles in their mission to make a real difference.
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.
