A CHILD'S EDUCATION SHOULDN'T BECOME ANOTHER CASUALTY OF CANCER.
Cancer affects more than the person diagnosed. It can put pressure on an entire household, including the money a family has set aside for a child's education.
The financial burden of cancer should not be allowed to diminish a child's chance to learn and pursue their dreams.
@vijivenkatesh 's Tata Mumbai Marathon fundraiser can help Friends of Max continue providing practical support to patients and families,
including help with children's schooling expenses.
Join us in supporting Viji's walk for FOM.

These expenses can add to the pressure already created by a cancer diagnosis. I am walking for @Friends_Of_Max at the @TataMumMarathon to help FOM continue supporting patients and caregivers through these practical challenges.
