The teenage duo who are 11th standard students of American School of Bombay have so far raised over Rs 2 lakh with their initial target being Rs 2.7 lakhs.
Plateletpheresis is the process of collecting platelets from the blood of a donor and it is important in cancer treatment, specifically Leukaemia.
Operating under the aegis of Nargis Dutt Foundation, the teenagers have aimed to provide 36 Plateletpheresis kits initially. The cost of one kit is Rs 7500.
The donors are provided receipts along with granting them 80-G certificate which helps the donor to seek rebate in the annual income tax.
