The Tata Memorial Hospital’s Impact Foundation along with SRK’s Meer Foundation have taken the initiative to support the children who are going to represent India in the ‘World Children’s Winners Games’ this year. The World Children’s Winners Games are organised for survivors of childhood cancer in Moscow, Russia every year since 2010 by the Gift of Life Foundation. The children participate in competitive events like track, chess, football, table tennis, swimming and shooting.
SRK’s Kolkata Knight Riders along with Meer Foundation are supporting the children by providing jerseys and kits for the tournament. The games will take place this year between August 2nd to 6th.
Shah Rukh Khan who is an avid fan of sports invited the kids at his residence, Mannat, today, to wish them the very best as they leave for The World Children’s Winners Games and represent India.
Each kid that I met today has been a winner in his or her own life. It was great spending time with these rays of sunshine and I wish them all the luck not just for the games in Russia, but also for everything else in their life. I have learnt a lot from them today, they are a source of inspiration and represent the true spirit of sportsmanship.Shah Rukh Khan
More than 500 survivors of childhood cancer across 20 countries will participate in the games.
