The day began with each participant gathering around the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, beginning the CANsupport's annual Walkathon: "CANsupport Walk for Life - Stride against Cancer 2025". An event that calls all to raise cancer awareness and demonstrate our solidarity for those who are affected by it.

 

The event gave out shirts to showcase our support, continuing the event with celebration for the patients’ courage and our participation for this cause. Each of us took an oath, and walked in groups while raising awareness with self-made banners and colour-coded outfits. The walk was 3 kilometers long, with refreshments along the way. Many others opted for the 5 kilometer run, contributing further to the funds being raised. 

 

The walk provided the community an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the world, and be grateful for its nature–It gave a chance for the patients to take pride and support for their bravery. 

 

Through this event, there was further awareness spread on such an important issue, one that affects many, that needs further recognition. All the funds raised by the event will now be used to support the cancer patients through CANSupport Organisation's free-of-charge healthcare services. The walkathon was a community-building event where participants collected money by soliciting donations or commitments to walk a specified distance, an act of kindness providing each one of us company.
