Fashion for a cause

Anaika Fashion Show was hosted by Care Foundation and Apollo Cancer, to create awareness on Women health and empowerment recently. Dr P Vijay Anand Reddy, founder, CURE Foundation and director, Apollo Cancer Hospital, Hyderabad and Sangita Reddy, joint MD, Apollo Hospitals Group; were present on the occasion.

The Fashion show had four sequences based on different themes to depict womanhood, their wellness, and women empowerment. Speaking on the occasion Sangita Reddy said, "This fashion show depicts that there is beauty even around the surviving spirit of the cancer survivors.

This is an evening for all of us to say there is hope, there is future, the combination of technology and the inimitable human spirit of fighting, so that people don't need to feel depressed, sad and defeated when they discover they or their loved one have cancer. Today this combination of hospital infrastructure, knowledge, research and the tremendous advances science has made enable us to share these beautiful success stories of survivors. "

Swati Lakra wished happy women's day not only women but also to men who were present there, she said, "We need men to support and there is no doubt about that. Many here wouldn't be knowing that 90 per cent of SHE teams are men, it is basically the men who are taking care, so basically not correct to say men are not with us, therefore 3 cheers to men also today and they are doing a great job.

It is only the 5 to 10 per cent of people who are not behaving well, and it is the duty of the 90per cent to ensure that the 5 per cent to 10 per cent behave well. The theme of this year women's day is balance for better and only through that balance, we see the progress of the society."A fourteen-year-old brave Cancer survivor was crowned on the occasion for her indomitable spirit in combating the disease.
