The
disease is such that it takes immense mental strength to face the reality of
having been afflicted with it and, more than that, it requires unwavering faith
to live through it every day to get healed and stay cheerful. But these little children,
who are affected with Cancer, have chosen to see only the bright side of life.
Konkan Railway only added a further cheer to their positive outlook by
arranging a complimentary train trip for these cancer struck children on 5th
Nov, 2014 from Mumbai to Goa and back on 8th November.
These children, who
are undergoing treatment for Cancer of various stages at Tata Memorial Centre,
started their Goa trip from CSTM station yesterday by train no.12133 CSTM –
Mangalore Express. There are 38 children accompanied by attendants and
paramedic staff from Tata Hospital.
The children, who
are in the age group of 3 to 16 years, were upbeat about the train journey over
the picturesque Konkan Railway route. With joy in their hearts and cheerful
faces, they waived to all as they boarded the train.
Konkan Railway has
been giving this complimentary train journey in 3-tier AC coach to such
children from Tata Memorial Centre every year since 2007. On the occasion,
Konkan Railway distributes gift hampers to the children and also extends
complimentary on-board hospitality to them and their escorts during the to
& fro journey. With this small gesture, Konkan Railway prays for an early
and speedy recovery of these Little Angels.
