While observing work at the Tata Memorial Hopsital's Microbiology Lab, when she saw for herself the struggles cancer patients undergo to finance their treatment, 17-year-old Devika Madgavkar was so moved that she decided to raise money for them.

The Std XI student of Dhirubhai Ambani International School, and her friends, in association with the hospital, will hold a concert on March 1 for the cause. They aim to raise Rs 40 lakh through it. Madgavkar, her friends and child patients of the hospital have also created 600 handmade masks and brochures on cancer awareness, which will be sold at the concert.
