On the occasion of National Cancer Survivors Day, hundreds of people spent their Sunday sharing stories of them defeating the disease and motivating others in their fight against cancer. Nick, the popular kids’ channel and Ugam, a voluntary support group involved in a crusade against cancer and a unit of The Indian Cancer Society (ICS), partnered to celebrate the victors of childhood cancer on the occasion of Cancer Survivors’ Day. Nick brought its international icon, SpongeBob Squarepants at the event, who greeted the cancer victors, danced with them, posed for photographs and brought a smile on the face of the young heroes. The event also saw dance performances and skits by kids, many of them who had overcome the dreaded disease.
