All shades and colours of pink streaked across the streets of Kingston yesterday morning as participants turned out for the ICWI/Jamaica Reach 2 Recovery (JR2R) Pink Run in New Kingston. Supporters got creative in adhering to the ‘tutus and tall socks’ theme as they walked, ran, or just showed up for a worthy cause – the fight against breast cancer.
October is celebrated worldwide as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Pink Run continues to serve as a major fundraiser for the JR2R, which is the breast cancer-support arm of the Jamaica Cancer Society. Here are the highlights.

Happy to show off her medal of completion, Yolanda Gardener strikes a confident pose. Queenie Ko and her puppy pal took some time to pause for a photo as they attempted to make the 5K walk at ICWI’s 2019 Pink Run. It’s no question why Kadyan Salmon received second place for Best Dressed at the 2019 Pink Run. Melissa Anderson, human resource/administration manager at Total Jamaica, represented for Breast Cancer Awareness Month from head to toe. Media personality Terri-Karelle Reid, a little tired after stretching her muscles in the ICWI 2019 Pink Run 5K, puts on a smile and stands strong in support of the cause.
