Cankids Kidscan, the National Society for Childhood Cancer, is organising a month-long cyclothon to raise awareness and funds for treatment.
#CycleForGold is being held, recognising September as the childhood cancer awareness month. The cyclothon is being held from September 10 to October 8, and is an awareness and fundraising event, said Lata Mani, south regional head of the organisation.
During the pandemic, many children had to abandon treatment. “We are seeing more relapse, and children are coming in at more advanced stages of the disease. Many families who have lost their livelihoods are in dire need of support for treatment, which called for such an event,” she said.
