Other sponsors and individual contributors include LIME, the St. Kitts and Bottling Company, TDC Nevis, Sunshine’s Beach Bar & Grill, Boddies’s Café, the Pembertons and Bridgette Hunkins.
The aim of the walk-a-thon is to boost the Pink Lily Cancer Care’s Breast Screening Program (BSP) Fund that will enable the charity to offer free mammograms to another 100 women. Already, 100 women have benefited during the first phase of the BSP at a cost of EC25,000 raised through past walk-a-thons, other fund-raisers and through contributions by well-wishers.
The walk-a-thon will commence at Chicken Stone at the entrance of the Eva Wilkin Art Gallery and end at Sunshine’s Bar and Grill Restaurant, Pinneys Beach. Registration fee for adults is EC25 while registration fee for children is EC15. This fee enables walk-a-thon enthusiasts to get a T-shirt and a delicious healthy breakfast at the conclusion of the walk-a-thon.
Registration forms can be obtained from the Nevis Tourism Authority and at AI Technology. Registration forms can be emailed to potential walk-a-thon participants on request. Registration will also take place at the Memorial Square, Charlestown on Wednesday October 12 and Friday October 14. There will be no last minute registration on October 15.
Julie Claxton, Pink Lily Events Coordinator, called on the walk-a-thon enthusiasts to walk and not to run. “It is a walk-a-thon not a run”, she said. She also said there are prizes to be received.
