TAMBARAM : A 51-year-old man on Thursday started a cycling expedition around Tamil Nadu to create awareness of cancer among people and also to educate them on its symptoms and how it could be detected at an initial stage.

M. Murugan of Tiruvottriyur would cover all districts of Tamil Nadu, except The Nilgiris, before returning to Chennai after 45 days.

What prompted him to embark on this cycling expedition?

Mission

Mr. Murugan, a volunteer in the Cancer Institute, Adyar, said he decided to devote his life to the cancer awareness mission following the death of his wife Vasanthi in 2004. Vasanthi, a member of the Rotary Club, was diagnosed with symptoms of breast cancer in 2000.

``By the time she started taking treatment, she had reached the stage-II'', said Sumana Premkumar, radiation oncologist at the Institute, who treated her. Cancer spread to her lungs and hips and she died in November 2004.

``Then I decided to spread cancer awareness messages among the people,'' Mr. Murugan said, adding that Vasanthi was involved in several service projects including those on women's health.

Dr. Sumana Premkumar said Sakhi, a cancer patient support group, was formed in December 2002, and Mr. Murugan was its full-time volunteer now.

He started his cycling expedition from the Construction Skills Training Institute, Manapakkam, of Larsen and Toubro, which is sponsoring the event.

Apart from distributing pamphlets, Mr. Murugan would also spend a couple of hours in the evenings, setting up a temporary exhibition with display charts touching upon various issues related to cancer.

K. P. Raghavan, executive vice-president, L and T ECC, T. G. Sagar, clinical director, Cancer Institute and S.Natarajan, head of the institute, were present at the flagging-off function.
