Miss England finalist visits Princess Christian Care Home’s Alzheimer Centre

Two weeks back in Asian Voice, you might have read an interview of Dhwani Kothari. Dhwani who is a Miss England finalist, and she wants to spread awareness about Brain Tumor. 
On 27 July 2021, Dhwani visited Surrey’s Princess Christian Care Home’s Alzheimer Centre and spent time entertaining the care home residents. Surprisingly, Dhwani’s mother submitted the entry form for participation without informing Dhwani. After the selection of Dhwani’s photograph in the wild card, she was informed and was very much surprised by the selection. After this, voting was carried out and she was interviewed before qualifying for the finals. 
Dhwani was 5 years old when her parents, Shailendra Kothari and Ekta Kothari moved to London from Mumbai. In 2009, her mother Ekta was diagnosed with a brain tumour when they went to India. It was necessary to operate it immediately. After an 18-hour long surgery, there were only 20 per cent chances of survival. But after three months of rest in the hospital, she was saved. 
After her mother was diagnosed with a Brain Tumour, Dhwani decided to spread awareness about the disease. For the last four years, Dhwani is associated with The Brain Tumor Charity, UK, and raises funds for the charity. 
If she wins the Miss England pageant, she will get an opportunity to take her charity work across the world and spread awareness for Brain Tumour. It is also noteworthy, that her brother, Jay Kothari who is 10 years old is a chess player and has received many awards for the same.
