Indian Star opener KL Rahul had donated Rs 31 Lakh to an 11-year old budding cricketer in need of an urgent Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), for the treatment of a rare blood disorder.

Indian batter KL Rahul had donated Rs 31 Lakh to save an 11-year old budding cricketer in need of an urgent Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), for the treatment of a rare blood disorder. 

In December, Varad Nalawade’s father Sachin, an assurance agent, and a mother Swapna Jha started a campaign to build Rs 35 Lakh they needed to pay for their son’s treatment. 

India batter team got in touch with the organization associated with the campaign as soon as they come to know about 11-year boy treatment.

Since last September, the fifth standard schoolboy had been under the care of hematologists in Mumbai’s Jaslok Hospital after he was identified with aplastic anemia, a rare blood disorder.

Varad’s blood platelets level was very low, making his immune system extremely allowing to infection. 

Even a normal fever was taking months to be healed. A BMT was the only permanent cure for Varad’s condition.

Thanks to Rahul, Varad was operated upon and is now getting better.

Speaking about the donation, Rahul said,

“When I came to know about Varad’s condition, my team got in touch with GiveIndia so that we can help him in any way we could.”

“I am glad that the surgery was successful, and he is doing well. I hope Varad gets back on his feet at the earliest and goes on to achieve his dreams. I hope my contribution inspires more and more people to come forward and help those in need,”

he added.
