Whitathon Run 2026

​The Eighth Edition of the Whitathon Run is a premier cause-related sporting event organized by the L V Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI). This annual run aims to raise critical awareness and funds for the early diagnosis and treatment of Retinoblastoma, a life-threatening eye cancer that primarily affects children under the age of three. ​By participating, you help spread the word about the "White Reflex" (a white glow in a child's eye), which is a major early warning sign of eye cancer. Funds raised are dedicated to providing free treatment for children from underprivileged families and supporting cutting-edge research into novel treatment options. ​
