It is always heartening to see people taking up something for a cause and
Bollywood
actors often step up to do their bit. In this case, the
Cancer Patients Aid Association
celebrated
National Cancer Rose Day
on September 22 to motivate and involve public participation for cancer awareness and care. And actor
Arjun Kapoor participated in the celebrations. He handed over roses and gifts to the children suffering from cancer.

He also travelled with them in an open bus as the Bandra-Worli
sea link
lit up in red to mark the day dedicated to the cancer patients. He also released balloons in the sky with the kids from the bus.

As part of the celebration and commemoration of the Rose Day, the
CPAA
has planned to light up the
Bandra-Worli
Sea Link in red, from September 22nd to 24th. It is for the first time that the sea link will shine in red to show care and support to cancer
patients
who are struggling to fight the disease. The aim is to give them hope that they are not alone in their fight against cancer.
Said Anita Peter, executive director of the CPAA, “Every year, on September 22nd, the association organises and celebrates National Cancer Rose Day, to bring cheer to all the cancer patients in Mumbai. The objective is to motivate and involve public participation on a large scale in our cause of cancer awareness and care. It is to let people know how easy it is to show that you care.”
