Over 1,500 people came forward to participate in the BR Life 5K Run organised by BR Life SSNMC Super Specialty Hospital Rajarajeshwari Nagar here on Saturday to
celebrate World Heart Day and to create awareness among the people about an active lifestyle.
With the theme “High5 Your Heart”, the run started at around 6:30 am and saw the participants forming a heart-shaped human chain to create awareness.
Meanwhile at the Apollo Hospital, recovered heart patients, their loved ones and other individuals who wanted to promote awareness regarding heart health formed the shape of the ‘human heart’ . They also pledged to take care of this precious organ — both of their own and that of their loved ones.
With the theme ‘I love my heart’, a recovered patient promised to his family that he will take care of his heart while many others promised to lead a healthy and active
lifestyle to prevent heart diseases.
