Running for fun and funds.

Congratulations to all of those who participated in Sunday’s Intertrust Cayman Islands Marathon.  There was a huge turnout for this very popular event which encourages participants of all ages and abilities by offering options for completing a half or full marathon, 4 person relay and a fun run for children.

Running a marathon is a huge achievement in anyone’s book but we would like to extend a special congratulation and a heartfelt thank you to those who went the extra mile and ran the marathon for a cause.  Louane Martins Silva is just such a person raising funds for the second year in a row for a charity close to her heart, the Cayman Islands Humane Society. 

Residents of Cayman may well have seen Louane recently as she has been a regular volunteer at the shelter walking (and running) dogs on a Saturday morning.  She ran her first marathon last year to raise funds for the Humane Society and decided it was worth doing again. “Running for a charity gives me a purpose when I’m training,” says Louane. “Knowing that I’ve made the commitment to the Humane Society motivates me to keep on running when it gets challenging.”

Our congratulations to Louane and all the other inspirational runners who raised awareness and much needed funds for their designated charities.
