However, the most rewarding experience of my career so far is the campaign I helped create for the Terry Fox Run, Bangalore 2004.
We needed to raise awareness about Terry Fox, an 18 year old boy who ran across Canada, on one leg, after losing the other leg to cancer, in order to raise money for cancer research.
The aim of the campaign was to get people to join the run and raise funds for cancer research.
The run was huge success. Awareness levels peaked. The run witnessed an all-time-high participation from schools. And over 6 lakhs rupees were raised for head and neck cancer research.
