Why CanSupport Walk For Life?

CanSupport Walk for Life is an event to create greater awareness about the rising incidence of cancer in India, to stand with and show solidarity with cancer patients and to raise funds for their care.

We believe if a large number of people walk or run for a cause it will attract the attention of the media who will report it in the press and electronic media. It will thereby provide an opportunity to showcase people who have had cancer and are now well which will in turn encourage people to have regular checkups and catch cancer early for better prognosis. Interviews with representatives of CanSupport will also help explain the work being done by CanSupport so that more people can avail of its free of charge services and call the helpline to answer any of their queries.
