Fitness Express contributes towards expenses of CARIFTA Team
As has been the norm over the years, Fitness Express, Guyana’s leading sports supplement and fitness equipment retailer, continues to support athletes across the divide.
The latest gesture comes in the form of a financial contribution made towards the overall expenses of Guyana’s participation at this year’s CARIFTA Games, set for this Friday to next Monday, April 7-10 in the Bahamas.
President of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG), Aubrey Hutson, has indicated that the AAG is pulling out all the stops to ensure that Guyana is well represented at this year’s Games, despite the challenges being faced to get the full team there.
“The AAG would like to express gratitude to Mr. Jamie McDonald and Fitness Express for assisting us in a big way. Getting our team to the Bahamas is by no means an easy task, as it is a very huge bill to see us get there, and every contribution adds up.
“Mr. McDonald has always been supportive of us, and we are very thankful for his continued backing.”
McDonald, in brief remarks after handing over the company’s contribution to Team Manager and Council Member of the AAG, Mr. Keith Campbell, shared that Guyana has a very good chance of doing even better than 2022, when the nation ended the 49th edition of the Games in Jamaica, with seven (7) medals.
“Athletics in Guyana is really going places, and I am sure that with the consistent work the AAG has been putting in, we will certainly reap huge rewards in short order. This year’s team is a talented one, and we at Fitness Express would like to make our contribution toward its success,” McDonald has said.
