History

Sandeep Menon was a bright, loving and amazingly confident young 24-year-old when he left this world after a three-year fight against cancer.

In his inspirational battle with the disease, Sandeep faced surgeries, radiation and chemotherapies with unbelievable courage and determination. He saw every new challenge and setback with more confidence than most could possess. And, there could be no better tribute to his courage and spirit than to continue what he started.

We were greatly encouraged by the overwhelming response from his family and friends to the idea of setting up a charitable trust. Thus came the initiation of the non-profit organisation by name Sandeep Menon Foundation.

This foundation honours Sandeep’s memory by contributing to and supporting the sectors of education and health, thereby keeping alive the two things he believed in during his long drawn fight against cancer.
