The walkathon was simultaneously organised in 6 other cities namely Chennai, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Jaipur, Mohali and Kolkata to highlight the cause of organ donation.
The Gurugram walkathon was flagged off by actor Rajkummar Rao. Over 7000 people from all walks of life came forward to participate in the walkathon and support the cause of organ donation. Various schools, colleges and organizations came forward to support the cause. Actor Rajkummar Rao expressed his disappointment at the low organ donation rates in India. The actor also took a pledge to donate his eyes and rest of his organs post death. He added saying that he will take out personal time and shall address more and more people about it.
The enormous participation from different states of India was a big contribution to the cause.
