Cancer is known as the emperor of all maladies because of the fear it spreads through us all. In spite of spectacular improvements in treatment, the disease continues to affect patients and those who care for them, physically, emotionally and financially. In 1969, CPAA’s Founder Chairman and CEO recognised the gaps in addressing cancer as a health problem in India and embarked on creating an appropriate framework for addressing those needs, the ‘Total Management of Cancer’, which encompasses Awareness, Early Detection, Support for treatment, Guidance and Counselling, Rehabilitation, Research Studies and Advocacy. With five decades of experience in cancer management, CPAA now mentors’ other health care organisations across India, based on this holistic philosophy.

It is each one of you who motivates me to run this marathon. It will be my privilege to have you support us in fighting the battle against cancer this year too. Every rupee you donate will be put to effective use.

Thank You.
