On meeting the kids, Shah Rukh Khan shares, "Each kid that I met today has been a winner in his or her own life. It was great spending time with these rays of sunshine and I wish them all the luck not just for the games in Russia, but also for everything else in their life. I have learnt a lot from them today, they are a source of inspiration and represent the true spirit of sportsmanship”.

Dr. Tushar Vora, Tata Memorial Hospital, says, “These brave hearts are children who have fought and conquered the dreaded disease of cancer and are now headed to Moscow, where more than 500 survivors of childhood cancer across 20 countries will participate in various games. Each of them is already a ‘winner’ but this international platform will provide them with more exposure, confidence and spirit to reintegrate back into society and become proud productive members.
