 A Heartfelt Thank You from Team RACTHAM 🌟



We at Team RACTHAM extend our deepest gratitude for your participation and insights in sharing what Omoiyaride means to you. Each story, reflection, and thought resonated with the spirit of compassion and empathy that fuels our mission at RACTHAM, reminding us of the power of collective goodwill.

We’re thrilled to announce our contest winners for the Omoiyaride reflections:

🏅 1st place: Dr. Riya Mercy Jacob
🥈 2nd place: Mr. Cherian Varghese
🥉 3rd place: Mr. Nair Aswini Santosh

Additional prize: Dr. Binila Johnson

(All winners are invited to the awards ceremony at 8 AM in the central lawn on October 31st.)

This year's Omoiyaride marks a significant milestone for us: 50 successful bone marrow transplants at Believers Church Medical College Hospital—an incredible achievement for Central Travancore, making complex, life-saving treatments accessible to our community.

Inspired by Omoiyari, the Japanese concept of caring deeply for others, the Omoiyaride 50 km cycling event is dedicated to raising awareness of bone marrow donation and transplantation. This event isn’t just about the ride; it’s a movement to advocate for life-saving, impactful change:

  • Bone marrow donation is often misunderstood, yet it’s a non-surgical and life-saving act, much like donating blood. By breaking down myths, we can encourage more people to become donors.

  • Autologous transplants for multiple myeloma offer transformative treatment, yet many remain unaware of this option. We want patients to understand that this life-changing procedure is within reach.

  • For children with conditions such as aplastic anemia and thalassemia, bone marrow transplants can be life-saving. Raising awareness about these treatments can lead to greater hope and access for young patients and their families.

Through Omoiyaride, we aim to inspire you and others to join this cause. Let’s spread awareness, offer support to patients, and encourage more to consider the powerful act of becoming a bone marrow donor. Together, we can create ripples of hope and change in our community.

Thank you once again for standing with us, and let’s continue to ride for hope and unity.

Warm regards,
Team RACTHAM 🚴‍♂️

A Story of Hope: A Journey Towards Healing for a Brave Little Boy

 A Story of Hope: A Journey Towards Healing for a Brave Little Boy This is the story of a 2-year-old boy , the child of a North Indian missionary family working in the Vikaspuri area of Delhi . He was brought to Believers Church Medical College Hospital (BCMCH) with a heartbreaking history: for the past three months, this little one had been unable to move his lower limbs. His family, driven by hope and desperation, sought answers at some of the best medical colleges in the country. However, despite their extensive efforts, they were left without the clarity and direction they desperately needed. Initially, Dr. Abel brought this child to Dr. Jijo’s OPD with a preliminary diagnosis of scurvy from Kalavati, but this diagnosis didn’t fit the clinical picture.
