TAKING THE BIG STEP

 Mumbaikars kept their promise with taking the first step to health as thousands turned up on Sunday for the Max Bupa Walk for Health in association with Times Now. The 'walk' took place simultaneously across Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi. Before hitting the road, participants were treated to live performances and a variety of entertainment acts. A bevy of celebrities also turned up. And kids got an opportunity to meet and click pictures with their favourite toon characters. On-spot contests like 'TheYoungest Walker', The Oldest Walker' and 'Most Bonded Family' added to the dash of excitement. Said Manasije Misra, CEO (Designate), Max Bupa Health Insurance, "Through this initiative we want to spread awareness about the benefits of walking which is one of the easiest and most accessible forms of exercise. We are happy to see that thousands of people across India have joined us in making a new beginning towards good health." Gagan Bhalla, Director Strategy and Operations, Max Bupa, was here too.
