Ganesh Gawde and myself have known each other from 2003 and have worked together in 2 organisations over a period of 6-7 years.

He is a dear friend and a family man with a wife and a 16 year old son.

He has been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome (a type of blood cancer) and need to undergo a stem cell transplant.

The donor is his son and the cost of the operation is approximately 18 lacs.

We have been able to raise some funds through colleagues and friends and are trying to raise the balance amount.
