Akhil attempts Acro

For those confused, Acro is a form of classical acrobatic dance. Sadly I won't be attempting this in September but I do love a bit of alliteration. Over the years I've shaved by head, ran marathons and based my job around the fight to beat cancer. However, this year will be my biggest challenge yet. This September, I’ll be putting on my uncoordinated dancing shoes to the test and after just 8 weeks training, I'll be performing alongside my dance partner Coral in front of close to 500 people at the CRUK Ultra Ballroom event. For the last year I've been looking for a new challenge and thought this was the perfect way to honour 2 women who loved the performing arts. After long battles with cancer, both Gunna (my aunt) and Rita (my mum) sadly passed away in December 2018 and October 2017 respectively. They were both real fighters and raised incredible amounts of money for research in India and the UK. Gunna was also synonymous with India's Teal warriors moment which raised awareness of Ovarian cancer. Please do give as generously as you can as the funds raised by Stand Up To Cancer accelerate the pace of groundbreaking translational research that can get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives right now.
