Lady Allen and Usain Bolt partner to walk for Chain of Hope Jamaica!
Chain of Hope Jamaica in association with the Her Excellency, The Most Honourable Lady Allen and the Honourable Usain Bolt have launched the Usain Bolt Walkathon to take place later on this year. The launch took place at the Bustamante Hospital for Children on May 15th 2011 and culminated in a tour of the site of the new 10-bedded intensive care unit and new cardiac facility (the construction of this unit will be sponsored by Digicel). Lady Allen and Usain also had the opportunity to meet none of our little patients who had his life saving cardiac surgery done by our visiting team in April.

Life Cyclers and Yendi meet the cardiac kids!
Following the Life Cyclers 411 mile stint around Jamaica to raise funds for the life saving cardiac surgeries of 8 children, the Life Cyclers accompanied by Miss Universe runner-up, Yendi Phillips visited Bustamante Hospital to meet some of the cardiac kids that they helped through last years 'Barking Mad Cycle' and some they may be helping through this year's Life Cycle. The Life Cyclers also took this opportunity to hand over the cheque for JMD 2.5 million to Chain of Hope Jamaica.

The Life Cycle
On Saturday May 7th at 4:30 am, Alan Barnes of Red Stripe, and friends took off to cycle around the entire circumference of Jamaica once more to raise money for 8 children’s cardiac surgeries. The only difference this year was that the route was longer and much more challenging. Al, Mavin and Kirk completed the entire journey, but ALL the cyclists did an amazing job! Our very own Dr. Little was with them the entire way as the official medic, and others from the Chain of Hope Jamaica gang were right behind them cheering them on! This was truly a team effort and it was all for the kids!
