Mumbai Juniorthon is an annual marathon for junior athletes in Mumbai. Its aim is to motivate children and teenagers to participate in physical activities leading to a healthier lifestyle.<\/p>\n
“Juniorthon can be good for kids, I am glad they are doing something for kids. As far as parents are concerned, even if they want to send their kids out to play, there has to be a proper place to play. Kids can’t play on roads. Of course, they are attracted to social media and its happenings all over the world,” Zoya said.<\/p>\n
Expressing concern over the cities’ contribution to the future generation’s wellbeing, she said: “As a city, we have to provide safe and clean space for children to go out and play. We need parks and green places, without these where will the children go?”<\/p>\n
Previously, Bollywood celebrities like Vivek Oberoi, Sonu Sood, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sharman Joshi, Darsheel Safary and Avneet Kaur had extended their support for the initiative.<\/p>\n
Mumbai Juniorthon, which has tied up with NGO Smile Foundation, boasts of a fundraising platform wherein a significant portion of the registration fees will be donated to the NGO.<\/p>\n
Started in 2015 by Bhavna Mehta and Amit Mehta of Party Sharty Entertainment Pvt Ltd, the event will host its third season on December 10 at Bandra Kurla complex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
