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

🎗️ Walk Backwards to Move the Nation Forward – Support Back-A-Thon 2026 🎗️

What Is Back-A-Thon?

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

On June 14, 2026 (In Occurrence of World Blood Donors Day), 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
