A Special Thank You To:
🙏 Devaki Madam, Kasthuri Madam, and Nurjhahan Madam and Shaik Mastan ali sir for their inspiring sessions and continuous support. 🙏 Krishna Reddy Sir for his unwavering support throughout the camp.
Thank you to all the parents for believing in us and giving your children a chance to explore, learn, and grow in a fun and nurturing environment.
On May 13, 2025, the T-Hub was abuzz with energy and purpose as more than 400 enthusiastic youngsters, along with several Thalassemia-affected children, came together for a noble cause – to raise awareness about Thalassemia and its prevention. The event, the “Backathon 2025,” aimed to educate and encourage people to take proactive steps in the fight against this genetic blood disorder.
The run was graced by the esteemed presence of Mr. Jayesh Ranjan, IAS, who served as the Chief Guest. His participation underscored the importance of community involvement and support in efforts to combat Thalassemia. We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Ranjan for his unwavering commitment to such meaningful causes.
A special mention goes to two incredible individuals who, despite personal challenges, made time to be part of the event. First, our sincere gratitude to @+91 93471 66528 for showing up and standing strong with us despite being unwell. Your presence was a testament to your dedication. Additionally, @+91 98480 93106 sir, who traveled just to be a part of this event for a few minutes despite a hectic schedule, your warm wishes and support meant a lot to us.
This event could not have been possible without the quiet yet powerful support of a dedicated group of people who have been part of this journey since 2016, both directly and indirectly, and through the Blood Warriors initiative since 2020. Your individual commitment has been the driving force behind every step we’ve taken, and continues to inspire our collective efforts.
We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to Gayathri Ma’am, Aditi Ma’am, Tapadia Sir, and Dhiraj, who have been the backbone of our mission. The continued support from Rotary and all of our partners has truly been invaluable. You all have been co-passengers in this journey, and we cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support.
The event not only served as a platform to raise awareness but also provided an opportunity for early detection of Thalassemia. Over 140 samples were collected for free Thalassemia testing, furthering our goal of making sure that more individuals are aware of their health status. This gesture of free testing, paired with the awareness run, highlights the importance of both prevention and detection in the fight against Thalassemia.
As the event concluded, the energy and determination displayed by everyone present were palpable. It was evident that every step taken during the run, every voice raised in support, and every drop of effort shared was a powerful reminder that together, we can make a difference.
Congratulations to everyone involved in organizing this event for making it a huge success. It was well-attended and well-organized, a testament to the dedication of the team behind it. Moving forward, I propose that we organize this event again in three months, to keep the momentum going and continue building awareness. Let’s make “Backathon” a recurring event – a brand that symbolizes our commitment to creating a Thalassemia-free India.
Thank you once again to everyone who participated and supported the Backathon 2025. Your presence and involvement have taken us one step closer to our shared dream of a Thalassemia-free future. Let’s continue to work towards prevention, one step, one drop, and one life at a time.
