Hyderabad/New Delhi, March 6, 2022:
According to Dr. Vijay Anand Reddy, through this event, we intend to raise money and spread cancer awareness in the society through extensive participation from ace golfers, outstanding sports persons, celebrity figures and opinion leaders. CURE Foundation was started in 2003 and through it, could help more than 2000 patients till date, to avail the State-of-the-art Cancer Care to the needy patients, especially Children. Cancer Awareness Programs always help, and sports are one of the best ways to do so.
It’s a fact that one of every ten individuals is likely to suffer from cancer at some stage, therefore we should be aware of the symptoms and seek medical help and get screened. Prevention of cancer is even better than cure, therefore exercise becomes part of prevention, and nothing is better than sports and of all the sports I still feel Golf is the best and my life has changed since I adopted Golf. Decade back we used to see 70% of patients in advanced stages, off late because of extensive Cancer Awareness programs like this, we are able to see 70% of them in early stages and bring solace to the patients. Especially cancer in children is highly curable if provided right treatment, just because their parents can’t afford, the children should not be denied the treatment.
The Golfer community has been a huge support in helping these children avail good treatment. In fact, several Golfers are in touch with Cure foundation on regular basis and support individual patients whenever the need arises.
Dayakar Reddy said, giving life to somebody is the biggest gift we can extend. Cure Foundation has grown in a big way over the years and HGA is lucky to have contributed in a small way. Cancer Crusaders Golf Championship is probably the largest charitable Golf tournament in the world. Lot of our members have tremendous interest in this tournament and the reason for their coming out is the good cause it is associated with.
Ajay Kumar Reddy said, the tournament will be played in three sessions on two days, March 5th and 6th, it will be a Stableford points, Handicap with a double peoria method adopted to pick the handicaps, there will be various prizes in the various categories of handicaps. We expect over 300 players and will be fun filled event.
