purple run 2018 – UdaipurBlog

Forum Celebration Mall Udaipur, which is the part of Forum malls, took a great initiative to create awareness about the disease Alzheimer’s. The year 2017 marked the beginning of this inordinate initiative called ‘Purple Run’. The event covering 7 malls in 6 cities achieved humungous success with 10,000 runners across the country.

This year, Purple Run is planned to be Udaipur’s biggest running event where more than 2000 city based runners in 4 different categories will run for a single cause – to create awareness about Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s is a type of disease which causes thinking and memory problems. A victim of Alzheimer’s loses the ability to carry on a conversation and adjust according to the environment.

We all frequently visit celebration mall for shopping and have a leisurely time with our loved ones. But this time, it has given us the opportunity to join in for a cause. It is the time that we reach another milestone in the History of Udaipur.

The first pre-event of the ‘Purple Run’ focuses on some physical challenges that will test the strength of the participant. These fun loaded physical activities will involve planks, pushups, pull-ups, etc. Moreover, the best performers in all the activities would be awarded some exciting gift vouchers. This pre-event will be conducted on 25^th August 2018 followed by another pre-event on 1^st September 2018.

There are absolutely no registration fees to participate in the event. Thus, anyone and everyone can participate in it.

So, are you ready to Stand Up for a Cause?

Our City’s very own The Celebration Mall turned to FORUM Celebration Mall earlier this year. It is now a part of FORUM Malls, a Prestige Group Enterprise which owns and manages more than 7 shopping malls in 6 different cities of India.

In the year 2017 Forum started “Purple Run” with an aim to create awareness about Alzheimer’s disease. With more than 10,000 runners across the country, the event was an instant success among health enthusiasts. Now in 2018 with the advent of newer dimensions to the largest mall of Udaipur, FORUM Celebration Mall along with 6 other malls across the country are going to organize this year’s Purple Run on 30^th September 2018.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer’s, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. The stats suggest, in India more than 4 million people suffer from some form of dementia and it’s the 5^th leading cause of death in people over 55 years of age.

We the people of Udaipur shop and have a gala time at the Forum Celebration Mall every time. Now, it’s our turn to make a mark in Udaipur’s history. It’s time to make it BIG by participating in Purple Run. Anyone and everyone can be part of Udaipur’s biggest running event.
