Awareness for cancer gets a shot in the arm at an open-air support event in Bandra. Go, donate your hair for wigs

For 35-year-old Mansi Mehta, it was being witnessed to her mother being consumed by the deadly condition, and the gaps in cancer care given to patients that prompted her to start an NGO in the city two years ago. Since then, OncoHappy has been giving Mumbaikars an opportunity to show their solidarity with cancer patients who have lost their hair to chemotherapy, by either shaving off your hair or donating it to be made into wigs.
Their mission to address cancer patient care has led to six projects, which follows the mantra "While doctors are treating the disease, who is healing the person?" And with their 'baldishappy' sundowner this Sunday, they plan to address the issue of losing hair due to chemotherapy. "Studies show that 40 per cent people fear this, and eight per cent reject their treatment due to this reason!" shares Mehta.
