The Cayman Islands Crisis Centre is about restoring a women’s sense of self-respect. Self-respect is something that everyone faces, so we have designed a challenge to go with the Jingle Bell Walk/Run, called RESPECT ME. Anyone can participate in the challenge, whether or not they are runners or walkers.  We are asking people to get involved by challenging themselves to pledge to do something important – a personal goal based on health, fitness, positive self-image and self-respect.

Individuals will ask others to sponsor them in a personal development goal such as finishing the race, amount of training preparation for the run/walk, giving up French fries, volunteering at the event, or any other activity that will empower them.  These personal goals will not only gather a sense of community but would also increase personal respect and accomplishment.

For more information on sponsoring, volunteering or becoming involved in this event, contact Michelle Wouda at [email protected]
