About Me

We, Poonam Bagai (Board Chair) and Mukul (Vice-Chair), are stepping up for the Tata Mumbai Marathon Senior Citizen 4.5 km Run.

At 62 and 68, we’re not just running—we’re challenging ourselves to raise INR 5 lakhs in support of children with cancer from friends, family and those who believe we have made a difference and acknowledge our contribution.

Over the past 20+ years, many of you have seen how dedicated we are to this cause.

This year we both decided to putting our money where our mouths are. Run with our survivors. so more children with cancer can run more marathons tomorrow.

We’re inviting you to join us!

Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us reach our target and make a meaningful difference in these children’s lives.

Here’s how you can help:
1. Donate
2. Spread the Word: Share our mission with your network.
3. Cheer Us On: Follow our journey and send us your encouragement!

Thank you for standing with us. Together, let’s show how much this work matters and help these children cross their own finish lines.

With gratitude,

Poonam Bagai - Board Chair, CanKids KidsCan
Mukul Marwah - Vice-Chair, CanKids KidsCan

Appeal

Did you know that if a child has cancer in a high income country, their chances of survival are 80%. But in India, it is 35%. But it doesn't have to be that way. Founded in 2004 by Poonam Bagai, herself a cancer survivor, CanKidsKidsCan - The National Society For Change For Childhood Cancer In India aims to change that.

CanKids partners with hospitals, medical professionals, and state governments to move India towards 100% access2care & higher survival rates for children with cancer. They enable best standards of treatment, care and support across 141 partner centers in 53 cities and 22 states of India. Catering to primarily underprivileged families, CanKids serves the underserved, ensuring avoidance of financial hardship.

CanKids increases survival rates by driving early detection, diagnosis & referral & partnering with the government and stakeholders to pioneer online support and care reaching remote corners of India.

Your donation goes towards medical treatment, blood work, nutrition, counseling, education of a child with cancer. Together we can bring light into dark and shine the way for more children with cancer to #surviveandthrive.
