We are making a *serious* appeal to
membership clubs, walking and running groups, youth groups and members of the public to get involved and support this important fundraiser for Jamaica.

Whether you are a walker, runner, fitness enthusiast, community supporter, or someone who simply wants to help, we are inviting you to take part in the Jamaica Basic School Fun Run/Walk – Run for Jamaica.

This fundraiser is especially important because Hurricane Melissa caused severe devastation to the basic school and primary school we are supporting. The storm left the school badly damaged, disrupting the education of children who depend on it every day. Classrooms, learning spaces, and essential school facilities have been affected, and the community needs urgent support to rebuild and recover.

I truly hope as many people as possible will participate, donate, sponsor, and help spread the word. Every step taken, every pound raised, and every act of support will make a difference to the children, families, and community who are still trying to get back on their feet.

Please get involved. Walk, run, donate, sponsor, and stand with Jamaica.

We have to celebrate our members who are doing phenomenal work for Jamaica.

Today, we celebrate Angelia Christian a Jamaican-inspired member and one of our special, dynamic Jamaicans in the diaspora. Angelina is relentless in her pursuit to support Jamaica and Jamaican initiatives. She emails everyone, WhatsApps everyone, follows up with everyone, and never stops pushing when it comes to helping the island she loves.

Many of us know Angels story. After her two daughters almost drowned and there were no ambulances available, she turned that painful experience into purpose. Instead of simply being angry or discouraged, she chose action. She went hard for Jamaica, and for the past 15 years, she has done phenomenal work to support, uplift, and serve the island.

Her commitment has been a true testament to what it means to be Jamaican in the diaspora someone who does not forget where they come from, someone who uses their voice, their network, and their passion to create real impact.

Today, her work is being recognized through a television report broadcast in Jamaica and the UK, allowing more people to see the powerful contribution she continues to make.

Angelia Christian is a reminder that one person with passion, purpose, and persistence can make a lasting difference. Today, we celebrate her, we honor her, and we thank her for going hard for Jamaica. .8003
