Shrenu Parikh Instagram – THA-LA-SSE-MIA, Isko Jaan Jaiye, Jaanein Bachaiye. This #WorldThalassemiaDay (8 May), I invite you all to #SpellOutThalassemia with a friend, family member, partner or colleague to create awareness about #Thalassemia testing. This challenge will help @thewishingfactory and others in their effort to make India #ThalassemiaMukt – time to spell it out to get it out. Thalassemia Major is a genetic disorder that affects children severely – it reduces life expectancy, causes bone deformities and requires a transfusion every 2 to 3 weeks. Even then, very few know it is completely preventable – if couples test before planning a child. The Wishing Factory is an NGO that supports people suffering from Thalassemia and creates awareness about this dangerous disorder. #ThalassemiaMuktBharat #ThalassemiaAwareness #Challenge #Reel #ReelItToFeelIt
