Cancer care diet for children

On July 1 this year, RC Thane Ghodbunder Road, RID 3142, launched Project Annapurna at the St Jude Childcare Centre in Parel, Mumbai, to provide nutritional support to 100 children undergoing cancer treatment at the Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. “We aim to provide nourishing diet packs to 100 families with children battling cancer every week for the entire year,” said project coordinator Shankar Bhagat. Each carefully curated pack costs ₹500 and the total project cost is estimated at ₹26 lakh. The initiative will benefit less privileged children undergoing treatment at the Tata Memorial Hospital and staying at all the 20 St Jude centres across Mumbai.
