The show will bring families together to celebrate the spirit of cancer survivors
Fashion has often joined hands with various causes and issues so that awareness could be spread and the industry uses it as an opportunity to give back to the society.
This weekend at the Kingdom Of Dreams, a ‘Festival Of Hope’ is being organised that will see designers like Ashima Leena, Meera & Muzaffar Ali and Manoviraj Khosla showcasing their designs.
The works will be showcased by few models who are cancer survivors and others from different walks of life to send a message that apart from medical treatment, attitude towards fighting the affliction is equally important.
In its 7{+t}{+h}edition the ‘Festival of Hope’ is being organised to raise funds for the Indian Cancer Society, where people will walk the ramp, along with cancer survivors, to support cancer awareness and contribute to the under privileged children who cannot afford the cost of treatment through hospitals.
Shalini Vig Wadhwa who is the organiser says for six years, the shows has brought more than thousand families together to celebrate the spirit of cancer survivors and learn to be alert for any early symptoms and are made aware of various treatments available to cure cancer.
Shalini says, “At what point do you give up - decide enough is enough? There is only one answer really - Never! Through Festival of Hope, I want every cancer patient to think positively that there is life after cancer. You just need to get treated on time.”The event is being organised at Kingdom of Dreams at 9 p.m. on November 14.
