Breeze Fusion 5K
Cayman Islands Tenth Annual “Breeze Fusion 5K” a Success
Funds raised at the Breeze Fusion 5K Run/Walk (held last Saturday, 5 November, 2016) have benefitted the National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), East End Primary School, and the Edna Moyle Primary School in North Side, with $2,000 donated to each.
In a show of support, other schools teams came from George Town Primary, Savannah Primary, Prospect Primary and Bodden Primary. Principals, teachers and MLAs joined students, alongside runners and walkers from the public – and from private-sector companies.
Radio Cayman’s Deputy Director Paulette Conolly-Bailey said, “I am so overwhelmed at the outpouring of support we received from the community at large which made our event such a huge success! I’m looking forward to next year’s event being even bigger and better.”
The morning was fun but competitive. The top three males were Jason Saunders (with a time of 17:29.92), followed by Levi Superville (19:22.45) and Paul Williams (20:11.65). The top three females were Catherine Conway (19:03.78), Carmen Cagabcab (25:32.38) and Laurie Bilovesky (25:35.48).
Radio Cayman Director Norma McField thanked all who participated or supported the event, noting that there were over 300 registrants for the 10th anniversary event, which was held at the picturesque Smith Barcadere. She also applauded the volunteers from the Cayman Islands Red Cross, the Lion’s Club, and the Leo Club of University College of the Cayman Islands (UCCI).
Corporate sponsorships came from Car City, Water Authority, Cayman National Bank, JTC Group, Ogier, Cayman Weekly, Seaboard Marine, Roma United and Wata.
Additional sponsorship of students and their schools came from Ministers Osbourne Bodden and Wayne Panton, as well as from MLAs Ezzard Miller and Arden McLean – who also participated in the 5k.
Other participants included Deputy Governor Franz Manderson and his wife Nuvia, Acting Commissioner of Police Anthony Ennis, Deputy Commissioner of Police Kurt Walton, Cabinet Secretary Samuel Rose and Director of Cabinet’s Policy Coordination Unit Robert Lewis.
