- World Cancer DayYear after year, observing World Cancer Day only strengthens our resolve to raise awareness and encourage policy makers and governments to pay more attention and take appropriate action in cancer control. Millions of deaths caused by cancer are preventable! World Cancer Day is marked on February 4th , this is when the world comes together to raise awareness about cancer, encourage its prevention, and mobilise action to address the global cancer epidemic.
- World CML DayEvery year on 22nd September, World CML Day is celebrated globally to raise awareness about Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML), a rare type of blood cancer. As the world’s largest support group for CML patients, Friends of Max plays a pivotal role in representing and amplifying the voices of thousands of patients in the region. Through a range of impactful activities, we strive to educate, empower and unite the CML community while highlighting the importance of early diagnosis, treatment adherence, and support systems. Our efforts are strengthened by the dedication of Friends of Max City Chapter Leaders from across the country, who work tirelessly to make this day meaningful and impactful.

- International Childhood Cancer DayInternational Childhood Cancer Day is a global collaborative campaign to raise awareness about childhood cancer. As we all know the impact of childhood cancer translates into years of life lost and is fraught with all kinds of inequalities and financial trauma. Every normal aspect of childhood is denied to a little patient and this includes schooling too. In its own way Friends of Max, through funds raised by Chai for Cancer, offers relief to school going children. Through its Project Shiksha, pediatric patients receive financial assistance to see them through their education.

Isn’t it strange, calling real life, excruciatingly real and alive, a story? I am surprised not one of you turned around and said, “What do you mean, ‘our STORY’? We are having real life experiences here, not some fairy tales or ”ghar ghar ki kahaniya…“ Instead, each one of you just put down your lives on paper and gave them to me just like that. For this alone, a very big Thank You!!! Some of you thought it an honour, some were happy to share. Others wanted to share after learning from others…that it is indeed possible to talk about yourselves and Rajeev wrote only because I threatened never to hug him again Hey Rajeev, caught you there but you know I would have never carried out that threat!!!My favourite writer P.G. Wodehouse once said “There are two ways of writing, (one…
