The Cayman Islands Cadet Corps’ reserves received a much-needed and greatly appreciated injection of funds recently when the organizers of the Cayman Islands Marathon presented the Corps Commandant with a cheque for CI$3500.

The Marathon, now heading into its 3rd year, is the major fundraiser for the Cadet Corps, and preparations are already well underway for the event, which will take place on Sunday, 5 December 2004.

“We are delighted to be able to assist the Cadets in this way,” said Laurie-Ann Holding, Managing Director of race organizers Kelly Holding Ltd. “We have big, exciting plans for this year’s event and we are so glad that Commandant Hyre sees our vision and how it will translate into even more money for the Cadets in the long term.”
Laurie-Ann also thanked Commandant Phillip Hyre and his team of volunteers, including the cadets themselves, for their invaluable support on race day and at the Health & Fitness Expo which was held the day before.

“On behalf of the Cadet Corps, I would like to thank Kelly Holding Ltd. for organizing the Marathon this year, and for this donation,” said Commandant Hyre. “The race itself was a huge success and we look forward to a bigger and better race come December.”
