United States-based Guyanese, Robert McRae yesterday made a contribution that included track shoes, haversacks, jerseys and other track and field apparel to the Athletic Association of Guyana (AAG) that will be handed over to the less fortunate athletes.
McRae, who is originally from Buxton is a former local athlete, who competed in the AinLim 10k last Sunday and will compete at the upcoming Courts 10k. He is an athletics coach at Hunter College in Manhattan, who wanted to give back to the sport locally.
Receiving the items was AAG Competitions Director (ag), Mark Scott, who said that those who otherwise struggle to afford apparel to train and compete will benefit from the items. He thanked McRae for the gesture, stating that the association welcomes the assistance.
