Group of "mombies" host "Thriller" flash mob with a purpose: to raise money for breast cancer

A group of moms, called "mombies" get zombified and host a Halloween flash mob to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" each year. Since 2016, the group has almost doubled in size, with weeks of rehearsals, two different shows and a purpose: to raise money for breast cancer. Tony Dokoupil has the story.

The Hindu Group, in collaboration with the Cancer Institute Adyar, has launched a comprehensive book titled "Cancer 360: Overview of Detection, Treatment, Palliation." The book, which was launched at The Hindu office in Chennai on October 26, 2026, covers various aspects of cancer care, including detection, treatment, rehabilitation, and palliation.

The launch event featured several key figures from both organizations, including N. Ram, director of The Hindu Group, and Dr. E. Hemanth Raj, executive vice-chairman of the Cancer Institute. The book aims to make advanced cancer care accessible and affordable by translating research into practical interventions and expanding care to reach more patients.

It also emphasizes the importance of tailored treatment plans, psychological support, and allied services for patients.
