It was in 2004 that Vivek Anand Oberoi joined hands with the Cancer Patients Aid Association, when he came up with a novel idea of celebrating his birthday with children fighting cancer. To cheer them up, he invited cancer survivors who he refers to as ‘angels’. These survivors inspired the other children emotionally to fight the cancer. Seeing the difference in the health of the children who felt hopeful and inspired to win against the disease, he hosts birthday parties with them till date. He also holds magic shows and screens movies to motivate them to combat the disease.
