This Father Cycled For 300km Over 4 Days To Get Medicines For Sick Son & We Can Only Salute Him

The Covid-19 scenario has ended up paralyzing the entire nation, with states forced to put up lockdowns throughout the country in order to tackle the deadly virus and contain it successfully.

However, all these problems weren’t even close to stopping a man, who was on a mission to provide for his sick son.

Anand, a 45-year-old construction worker from Ganiganakoppalu village near Mysuru, had learned that his 10-year-old son had been diagnosed with a chronic neurological problem for which he needed daily medication.

The doctors had warned Anand that if his son missed even a single dose of medicine, the treatment plan could be set back by years.

So far, Anand had been traveling to Bengaluru every two months to get the medicine, but with Covid restrictions disrupting his schedule, he was not left with enough medicine and had to get more in four days’ time. 

With even his friends refusing to lend him their two-wheelers out of the fear of the vehicle being seized by the police, Anand did not see many options in front of him.
