Administrator of the Home, Ewin Enmore, thanked the talented Athlete and her Coach for their humanitarian effort in supporting the Institution at Christmas time which is a time of caring and sharing.
Morgan said she and her Coach along with donations from Payless Varity Store, Bacchus Store and Andrew King’s House wanted to give back to those in need at this time of the year.
“We are thankful for all that we have received this year and we know what it is like to be in need and get support. We also would like to thank our sponsors GT&T, Mr Cummings, Steve Penberton, the GOA, Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, Dr Luncheon, Minister Westford, Kevin Jeffrey and Milton Bradford.”
Morgan had a relatively successful year. She finished second in the Guyana leg of the South American 10k and ended second in the Suriname leg of the same event. The runner also had a second place finish in the Suriname Marathon.
She won the Telsur 10k races in Paramaribo and Nikkei Suriname, while she finished second in the CARICOM 10 k in Trinidad and fourth in the 5000 meters race in Indonesia. (Sean Devers)
