A significant section of the Indian population appears to be ignorant of health issues, including cancer and its causes. It is our social duty to raise awareness of the issue. Canthon team so strives to inspire and promote public participation for Health, namely cancer awareness and prevention. The goal is to solely raise awareness and prevent cancer in the next 10 years, cutting the number of cases in half. The time has arrived for us to unite in the fight against cancer.

The running community has a social responsibility to make sure that more people join us in enhancing the health of the country, and only the running community is capable of doing this. Come, let's work together to educate society about various health issues, particularly cancer, and to raise awareness for a healthy lifestyle, fitness, and the importance of nutrition in one's life, as well as to contribute to the development of a strong nation.
