How long does it take a CEO to travel 24 miles? Well…it depends on whether they're driving a 2018 or a 2019 SUV.
We jest, but the 4th annual ride of the CEO Caucus on Saturday was no joke. It's a very serious fundraiser funding national efforts to combat cancer - and they weren't cruising in air conditioned SUV's; these CEO's were grinding out the 24 miles on the hot pavement from the mile 24 Solid Waste Management Landfill to the National Agriculture Showgrounds in Belmopan.
With the support of 170 riders, they did it under the theme"Stronger Together" and raised $73,000.00 to support efforts to combat cancer.
Dr. Ellsworth Grant of the Belize Cancer Center told the gathering at the end of the ride how it had helped them:
Since 2016, the CEO Caucus Cancer Initiative has raised $326,000.00 which has been channelled to the Dangriga Cancer Treatment Center and the Belize Cancer Society.
