Fitness Express assists CARIFTA Track and Field Team

Fitness Express, Guyana’s leading sports supplement and fitness equipment retailer, has continued to support athletes and their latest gesture came in the form of a financial contribution towards the overall expenses of Guyana’s participation at this year’s CARIFTA Track and Field Championships in The Bahamas from April 8-10.

President of the Athletics Association of Guyana (AAG), Aubrey Hutson, indicated the Association is “pulling out all the stops” to ensure that Guyana is well represented at this year’s Games despite the challenges being faced to get the full team there.

“The AAG would like to express gratitude to Jamie McDonald and Fitness Express for assisting us in a big way. Getting our team to the Bahamas is by no means an easy task, as it is a very huge bill to see us get there, and every contribution, adds up. Mr. McDonald has always been supportive of us and we are very thankful for his continued backing”, Hutson stated.

McDonald in brief remarks after handing over the company’s contribution to the Team Manager and Council Member of the AAG, Keith Campbell, shared that Guyana has a very good chance of doing even better than 2022 when the nation ended the 49th edition of the Games in Jamaica, with seven medals.

“Athletics in Guyana is really going places and I am sure that with the consistent work, the AAG has been putting in, we will certainly reap huge rewards in short order. This year’s team is a talented one and we at Fitness Express would like to make our contribution toward its success.”
