The first Brac Breeze Fusion 5K was held on Cayman Brac last Saturday (26 November) as part of Radio Cayman’s 40th anniversary celebrations.
The run/walk along the picturesque south shore of the island raised $1,000 for the Harmony Learning Centre.
Paula Malone, a student at Harmony Learning Centre accepted the donation. “Thank you for everything, I’m really happy you helped my school, now we can do fun things with our teachers. I’m so happy you helped us,” she said.

In a show of support, 90 people registered, including 50 children, thanks in large part to the charitable sponsorship by Deputy Premier Moses Kirkconnell.
According to reports, the morning was light-hearted and spirited, with Cayman Brac’s youth dominating with 67 percent of podium finishes, including two 11 year-olds.
The top three males were 13 year-old Sean Valentine (with a time of 22:30), followed by Hermes Gorginto (22:50) and Alex Anglin (34:21). The top three females were 16 year-old Madi Brandes (29:37), Leana Jackson (31:48) and Di’Jhaney Valentine (31:51).

“I was so happy to see all the support we received from the Brac community that made our first annual Breeze Fusion walk/run such a big success. My heart was touched by the gratitude from the Harmony Learning Center for our donation and I wish them all success in the future. I’m looking forward to next year’s event already,” said Radio Cayman’s Deputy Director, Paulette Conolly-Bailey.
She also applauded the volunteers from the Lions Club of Cayman Brac, District Administration, Pastor Thomas French, Mitchum Sanford, PWD and the RCIPS who lent their support to the event.
The 10th annual event on Grand Cayman was held on 5 November. Jason Saunders won the overall race and the women’s winner was Catherine Conway.
