Ahmedabad: To promote International Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, celebrated globally throughout September, the historic Kankaria Lake in Ahmedabad was lit up in gold for the first time. This stunning display of golden lighting, representing the childhood cancer awareness ribbon🎗️was a symbolic gesture in support of this important cause. Access Life Assistance Foundation, an NGO dedicated to providing Home away from Home for families with children battling cancer, to increase awareness about childhood cancer is curable. Children fighting cancer, who were part of the NGO, participated in this historic event. Their eyes sparkled with wonder as they beheld the magnificent palace bathed in beautiful golden lights.Access Life Ahmedabad Centre, Plot no. 586/17, 7B, Opp. Nagari Eye Hospital, Santosh Bag, Ellis Bridge, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380006 started in September 2023 provides free Hygienic shelter, Nutritious meals, Transportation services to The Hospital, Counseling services for parents, Non-Formal Educational support for the children. The month of September served as a time to recognize and remember children affected by this disease and their families, rallying support for their fight. While 70 to 90% of childhood cancers are curable, the percentage in India lags at just 40-45% due to a lack of awareness and support systems. The Access Life Assistance Foundation has been working tirelessly to bridge this gap and positively impact these children by offering holistic care in a country where childhood cancer cure rates are lower. Mr. Ankeet Dave, the co-founder of Access Life Assistance Foundation, expressed his excitement, saying, “We were delighted to witness Kankaria Lake, a splendid Ahmedabad landmark, beautifully showcasing our message. Our heartfelt thanks go out to ‘The Kankaria Lake Management team and Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation‘ for their steadfast support in raising awareness for childhood cancer. As we brought our Braveheart children and their caregivers to witness this stunning transformation of the palace into a golden beacon, we also extended our deepest gratitude to the dedicated volunteers and supporters of Ahmedabad, and the entire city, for their unwavering commitment to this cause.”
