"Childhood obesity is growing amongst urban kids due to sedentary lifestyle. There is an urgent need to motivate children and parents to indulge in outdoor play through simple fun filled activities. Running being the simplest form of exercise can be a family activity. More than 40 kids at kidzania today were trained on endurance training that helps children develop balance, active mind and physical stamina" added Founder Bhavna Mehta

Juniorthon is supported by actress Jacqueline Fernandez who mentioned “I try to hopefully inspire people as much as I can when it comes to eating right and healthy living. I know that we do have a large influence on teenagers and youth, so it’s important for celebrities to be a good example. I wish all the best to all the kids who decide take up active lifestyle and participate in the upcoming Mumbai Juniorthon”.
