Actors Aishwarya Rajesh,  Ali unveil the T-Shirt and Medal of the 8th Edition of Global Grace Cancer Run–2025

Hyderabad: Actress Aishwarya Rajesh and Actor Ali unveiled the T-Shirt and Medal of the 8th Edition of Global Grace Cancer Run–2025, the world’s largest cancer awareness run, at an event held at Hotel Daspalla, Jubilee Hills. The unveiling was graced by Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli, Founder of Grace Cancer Foundation, along with Mr. Narendranath (MD, Quambiant Developers), Ms. Prashanthi (Evernorth), Ramesh Kaza (SCSC), and several dignitaries.

Themed “Run for Grace and Screen for Life”, the run is scheduled for 12th October 2025, in hybrid mode—physical and virtual.

Chief Guest Aishwarya Rajesh said “Cancer is nothing compared to the daily challenge of living in a world polluted with negativity. People may judge me, but I know who I am. My true hero is Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli, who founded Grace Cancer Foundation. If I am free, I will not only attend the run but also participate in the 10K category.” She urged women to “love themselves, take care of their health, and get screened for cancer.”

Comedian Ali said  “If parents give us birth, doctors give us life. A run spreading a positive message about cancer is truly laudable. I celebrate my birthday on October 10. With the 8th edition happening on October 12, I want Grace Cancer Foundation to hold a run in my birthplace Rajahmundry. I’ll do everything possible to make that happen.”

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Chinnababu Sunkavalli said: “The Run aims to make a meaningful impact by raising cancer awareness, promoting physical activity as a preventive measure, and enabling access to free doorstep cancer screening for the underprivileged.”

Three cancer survivors — Mrs. Vimala Prasad, Mrs. Vasantha Kumari, and Ms. Geetha Kumari — shared their courageous journeys, affirming that cancer is curable if detected early and fought with confidence.
