Story of the Run

Jamaica Reach to Recovery, founded in 1977 is a breast cancer organization of volunteers whose sole purpose is to provide educational, psychological, emotional and financial support for Breast Cancer patients.  In 2000 the group became aware of the financial challenges some of our members were facing in accessing life saving tests and treatments. In response to this need, in October 2000  we staged our first run which was named in honour of our founder Dr Denise Thwaites.  This has now become an annual event and is now named the ICWI/Jamaica Reach to Recovery Pink Run.  It will be held on October 27, 2024 at Emancipation Park.  The proceeds from this event will be used to assist Breast Cancer survivors to access lifesaving tests and treatments.  In Jamaica we see an alarming number of Jamaican women being diagnosed annually and the need for financial support has increased significantly. 
 
We are delighted to once again partner with ICWI, a corporate body which has always demonstrated a special interest in women through their Road Angel Policy.
 
Everyone is invited to come out and participate in the ICWI/Jamaica Reach to Recovery Pink Run on October 27,2024.  Every participant is a partner in this journey, and every step counts towards helping Jamaica Reach to Recovery carry out life-saving Breast Cancer initiatives.
