​​As a proud member of our running community, you already embody the spirit of health and vitality. Now, let's extend that energy to those in need by participating in our yearly Blood Donation Camp. Your blood donation can make a profound difference—helping accident victims, patients undergoing surgery, or those battling life-threatening conditions like cancer.

​

By donating blood, you're not just giving a part of yourself; you're giving someone the gift of life. A single donation can save multiple lives and provide hope to families in their most challenging times.
