BACK-A-THON | Largest Community Sponsored Thalassemia Awareness & Prevention Campaign

🎗️ Walk Backwards to Move the Nation Forward – Support Back-A-Thon 2025 🎗️

What Is Back-A-Thon?

Back-A-Thon is not just a walk, it’s a movement with a message.

On May 11, 2025 (In Occurrence of World Thalassemia Day on 8th May), hundreds will walk backwards in Hyderabad to symbolize the urgent need to rewind the cycle of Thalassemia, a preventable genetic blood disorder that affects thousands of children in India.

This unique event is organized by Blood Warriors Foundation, a non-profit committed to building a Thalassemia-Free India through awareness, early screening, and community care.

Thalassemia is 100% preventable — with awareness, early screening, and timely counseling.

Why This Matters

• Every 30 minutes, a child is born in India with Thalassemia.
• Children with Thalassemia need blood transfusions every 15–20 days to survive.
• Most parents discover they’re carriers only after their child is born, when it’s too late.
• With awareness and timely testing, this can be prevented.

What the Event Symbolizes

By walking backwards, we ask: What if we could go back in time and prevent the pain?

Back-A-Thon aims to: 

• Raise awareness among thousands
• Push for policy on mandatory screening
• Support underprivileged families with screening and care
• Create a nationwide movement to stop Thalassemia at its root
