Win Over Cancer

Win Over Cancer was conceptualized and formed inside a hospital room by Arun Gupta, a chartered accountant and a cancer fighter. He held a strong belief that cancer is something which impacts the entire family and therefore, he had in mind that the work taken up by Win Over Cancer should be inclusive of not only the cancer impacted patient, but the entire family as well. The journey began in 2011 when our founder Mr. Arun Gupta was accidentally diagnosed with Chronic Lymphotic Leukemia or CLL. It is a slow growing, but difficult to treat blood cancer. This was going to change his life forever and lay the foundations of our organization. Win Over Cancer was conceptualized in 2013 when Arun Gupta, an avid blogger, realized that most cancer impacted families faced similar problems, that most of these problems had a solution but very few people were working on these solutions. Currently, Win Over Cancer is running 11 programs grouped under three verticals viz. Save, Support and Survive. Save" is more about counseling people on early symptoms of cancer, treatment options and various stigma about cancer. This is done by organizing workshops, events and webinars "Support" is about helping a patient during treatment. This involves helping the patients reduce cost of treatment, providing funding support for treatment to poor patients and "free supply of our patented prosthetic bra to breast cancer survivors (FSPB)". FSPB is our flagship program where more than ladies across 25 states have saved over Rs 57 mn during the last four years Under "Survive", we help cancer impacted families who have lost their livelihood to cancer, attain long term earning capabilities. Here we pick any one member of such families, help them get trained at one of our partner centers, provide them scholarships and once training is complete, mentor them to be self employed or help them get a job!
