Stride 592 will host a ‘Miles for Mom 5K’ in observance of Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 13. The proceeds will be donated to two charities – The Guyana Foundation, based in Essequibo, and Friends Who Care, based in Georgetown.
The first charity focuses on giving families, especially single mothers, the basic necessities to survive, while the other provides medical care.
The event will commence at the National Park with a warm-up session with Melissa ‘Vanilla’ Roberts at 6:30h, after which the procession will walk, jog or run along Carifesta Avenue into Vlissingen Road and then back into the National Park.
Medals and refreshments will be distributed at the end of the event.
MMG, Hits and Jams, the SUPREME Laundromat, Java Coffee and Banks DIH are some of the major sponsors for the event.
