In India, more than 12,000 people are unable to receive blood every day, and as a result, more than three million people have died while waiting for blood.
With a major purpose, ‘Nobody should die waiting for blood in India’, Kiran Verma, who set out from Thiruvananthapuram on a 21,000 km walk across India to raise blood awareness on December 28, 2021 reached Pune and spoke to hundreds of people by propagating his important message of donating blood whenever needed in order to save lives.
Reaching out to the local authorities, district administration, taking permission to connect with schools, colleges and others, Verma’s personal experiences with blood donation motivated him to travel along this path. He attempted the longest blood awareness campaign ever attempted by a single person in world history, spanned over more than two years. He started this walk to urge people to donate blood so that hospitals and blood banks wouldn’t run out of supplies, pandemic or not.
