Let us save children with heart diseases: Sania

Tuesday, 01 November, Hyderabad - India's women tennis sensation Sania Mirza endorsed the 'Save A Child's Heart' (SACH) bands.

SACH bands are embossed with slogans like 'Let us save children with Heart Diseases, let us wear the SACH band'. ''I wear one,'' said Sania on Monday.

The bands are available at multiple outlets in Hyderabad and cost Rs 50 per band.

SACH has so far screened 25,000 children in the country and provided aid to about 1,000 in August last year and has 3,240 children waiting for surgery.

The proceeds of Sania endorsed SACH bands will go to the treatment of the children, according to a release from Apollo Hospitals. Donors will also receive personal letters from the tennis sensation.
