Organized By Little Hearts Marathon
Siddhivinayak Temple, Prabhadevi, Mumbai to Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children, Parel, Mumbai (19.024300, 72.873123)
To stimulate & magnify the awareness for prevention of Cardiac diseases in our Nation and to help the children who are/will be suffering from Cardiac diseases, Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children (BJWHC) in association with Shri Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple Trust organizes the Little Hearts marathon annually in the month of February. The marathon aims to engage the community to participate in a healthy and fun event, which will help raise the much-needed funds for setting up a cardiac center at BJWHC and in return reduce the costs and waiting time for Cardiac surgeries in our community. Today, the unhealthy lifestyles that lead to cardiovascular disease often begin in childhood and adolescence, so that prevention of heart disease must begin there. The need of the hour is to promote healthy diets & physical activity amongst the new generation and provide a second chance to children who are already suffering from heart diseases. For us every child who participates in the Marathon is a winner and hence we encourage all children by giving them a participation certificate and goodie bag after they have successfully completed the Marathon.
