The average life expectancy for individuals with DMD is 22 years, as per a 2020 ScienceDirect study. Gambhir, who has spoken about his journey in a TEDx Talk titled 'Live Hard, Party Harder', will also be the keynote speaker at the gala. The event, which starts at 6:30 p.m., will feature DJ Sanj as a guest speaker and DJ.
The Bollywood Blingo Gala on Oct. 18 will not only be a night of entertainment but also a significant step towards raising awareness and funds for DMD research. Yuva Gambhir's inspiring journey serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
