Bahamas Roadmasters Running Club (BRRC) is pleased to present part proceeds from its 11th annual Bahamas Half Marathon and 10K Race Series to Sister Sister Breast Cancer Support Group, and MD Patient Navigation Services.
Each received the amount of $5,000. Sister Sister Bahamas, started by three compassionate and concerned women, seeks to bring about awareness and care to individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. MD Patient Navigation Services’ mandate is helping patients navigate the health system across its many facets toward ensuring appropriate care is being rendered to the patient and support to their family members. Since members of the running club have also experienced health challenges, the club found it fitting to partner with various local non-profit organizations to help others who may be facing similar situations.https://aa0f180b7563dd51f6a9ce4a6563743c.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html
Believing in benevolence, the club and its members have given back significantly to the Bahamian community through the years. Club President Anastasia Turnquest said: “It’s through the generous contributions of our sponsors, contributors and race participants that we are able to be a blessing to others. Individually, we may not be able to do a whole lot, but when we combine our efforts, we make a tremendous impact.” She expressed her gratitude to the corporate entities and individuals who have generously supported their initiatives.
Michael Cunningham, the club’s vice president, remarked: “We believe exercise is the key to a healthy life. We encourage interested runners to run with us every Saturday.”
