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.

It’s no question why Kadyan Salmon received second place for Best Dressed at the 2019 Pink Run.
