Hundreds of seasoned participants lined the streets on Hope Road- St. Andrew, to join in the 10th staging of the Good Samaritan 5K Health Run, hosted by the Andrews Memorial Seventh-day Adventist Church. The annual run which is a staple on the local calendar was held on Sunday, August 24, 2024. The goal for this year was to raise funds to purchase a specialised vehicle to transport the children from the St. Catherine chapter of Community Based Rehabilitation Jamaica (CBRJ.

We applaud the health professionals and volunteers who serve that community and are honoured to partner with the CBRJ for this project” said Dr. Derria Cornwall, Director of Health Ministries for the Andrews Memorial Seventh-day Adventist Church and Consultant Radiologist at the University Hospital of the West Indies. “This specialized bus which is the focus of this year’s run will go a long way in improving mobility to access treatment, activities and other related services” she noted.
