Running for Baljinder: Vienna Marathon in Support of Oesophageal Cancer Patients

We would like to sincerely thank Harvi Mehat for supporting OPA Cancer Charity and raising awareness of oesophageal cancer in memory of Uncle Bal. We send our very best wishes for the marathon.

Harvi’s Story

“This year, I’m running the Vienna Marathon in memory of my uncle Bal, who we sadly lost to oesophageal cancer. He was a kind, down to earth, and much-loved person, and his loss has had a lasting impact on our family. Taking on this challenge is my way of honouring him and turning that loss into something positive.

I’m raising money for the OPA Cancer Charity, a charity that supports patients and families while raising awareness of this often-overlooked disease. Every mile I run is for Bal, and any support would mean a great deal.”
