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.

The child's age should be from 3 to 17 years (For age group 3 to 12 it is mandatory to run with parent/guardian who will take the responsibility of the child throughout the Marathon to avoid any incident.)

It is mandatory for participants/ representative to come to the Nowrosjee Wadia Maternity on 5th and 6th February 2016 between 10 am to 4 pm to collect T-shirts along with valid photo ID and copy of invoice.

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.

We also invite you to look into the event and connect with one, two, or even more children’s run! Your involvement with us by sponsoring a run allows you with a unique opportunity to connect with the community on a more personal level. Your contribution will help a child run on your behalf. So if you cannot make it to the marathon for some reason or the other, make sure your presence is felt by contributing a run!
