Nearly 70% of head and neck cancers are related to
consumption of tobacco, areca nut and alcohol. Unfortunately, these causative
agents are freely available either due to weak policy or implementation, or
absence of it.
Recently TV9 supported Race For Grace, a cancer awareness run
and urged people to stay away from tobacco. The run is a chance to challenge
oneself, set new limits and reduce cancer risk by being physically active.
Early detection is the key to conquering cancer and anyone can make meaningful
and significant changes in lifestyle to prevent occurrence of cancer.
TV9 telecast promos on social media platforms, aired scrolls
and covered the event LIVE to spread awareness regarding the importance of
early detection as it goes a long way in preventing cancer complications.
The race to save lives
run was organised by Grace Cancer Foundation. People from all walks of life
joined the run in the fight against cancer and ran alongside those who are
impacted by cancer. Hyderabad CP Anjani Kumar flagged off the run where nearly
seven thousand young men and women participated.
As part of its Corporate
social responsibility TV9 channel has always supported numerous causes over the
years. Additionally Ravi Prakash Foundation was founded in 2017 to take further
his commitment and passion for making change in society by supporting the cause
of education and health. Today Ravi Prakash Foundation is undertaking
philanthropic activities in these areas.
