Cayman Islands Cancer Society

It’s time for “Stride Against Cancer”, the biggest non-competitive walk/run event of 2009. The event will be held on Sunday, the 25th of January.

Stride Against Cancer has been an annual event in the Cayman Islands Cancer Society’s fundraising calendar for over ten years and it is one of the Society’s biggest annual fundraisers. Thanks to the generous support of the event’s corporate sponsors, 100% of each registration fee is donated to fund the Society’s programs. The funds raised support cancer awareness initiatives and assist cancer sufferers and their families on all three of the Cayman Islands.

The Stride event is one of the most anticipated community events of the year. Last year had 1500 registrants and there are high hopes for the 2009 walk/run to be even better attended. The format is the same as last year. The event remains non-competitive. The “Long Course” (13.1 miles) starts at 6:00 AM and the “Short Course” starts at 7:00 AM. Both events start at the Public Beach on West Bay Road.

Registration began January 14th. You can register at all the major supermarkets including Fosters Food Fair Airport, Strand, Country Side, and Republix stores, Kirk Supermarket, and Hurley’s Marketplace between 10:00 AM and 4:00PM on both January 17th and 24th (Saturdays).

You can also register Monday through Friday 8:30-5:00 at the office on Eclipse Drive (off Eastern Avenue) in the MCR Building, Suite 4. Nearby landmarks are The Television Centre, Final Touch, and Rankine Plaza.

Registration is only $25.00, and there is a goody bag with a t-shirt for you. The best part is the great feeling you’ll have after a morning walk for a fantastic cause.

See you there!
