The boards clung to their bicycles reads ‘donate blood, save life’. Carrying blankets to sleep on and plastic sheet to protect them from rain, Jaydeb Routh (47) and Sibli Bishara (22) started their journey from Kolkata to Kanyakumari on July 1 to create awareness on blood donation.
They made a halt the YMCA Youth Hostel after they entered the city on Tuesday evening. “Many people are dying for want of blood during health emergencies. What could be more noble to educate people to donate blood. After all, a simple step can save somebody’s life. We want to contribute to the cause,” says Jaydeb Routh.
The Jadavpur Youth Adventure Welfare Association, in association with the Indian Redcross Society, lend a helping hand for the expedition, he says.
