Charity walk taken out for Clubfoot awareness
A charity walk was organised in the Capital on Wednesday by NGO Cure India in a bid to spread awareness of Clubfoot disease, a congenital deformity that severely twists the foot downward and inward, making walking difficult or impossible. The charity run was a platform to draw various charitable trusts, schools, colleges and corporate houses to contribute for various causes and health concerns. The main objective of the run was to reach out to people and enlighten them on the causes, effects and cure of the Clubfoot disease which affects two out of every 1000 children in the world regardless of race or geographic region. Cure India was set up in 2009 with the objective to eradicate disability caused by clubfoot in India.
