Walk For A Cause will held on Jan 10 morning from Territorial Army Ground (Park Str, Maidans) and is being organized for the underprivileged cancer patients of Northeast India by the North East Officers and Professionals Welfare Association (NEOPWA), an NGO, in collaboration with Tata Medical Centre
"My father was a cancer patient himself, so this is something very close to my heart," former Indian captain Bhutia said on Tuesday at a press conference ahead of the event here.
This fund raising event is the first signature event of NEOPWA for aid of poor cancer patients from the North East coming to Kolkata for treatment at Tata Medical Centre.
Amitabha Gan Chaudhuri, Secretary of NEPOWA, said, " NEPOWA Walkathon is our first noble attempt for a divine cause to support the underprivileged cancer patients coming from Northeast. It is also to build awareness among the people of Kolkata and North East about the deadliest faces and perils of cancer."
