News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Fri. June 10, 2016: Communications Specialist at the Caribbean Tourism Organization, Johnson JohnRose, is set to do a solo walkathon around the island of Manhattan, NYC for a cause today, June 10, 2016.

JohnRose says he will walk from the water’s edge of the Hudson River to the water’s edge of the East River; from Battery Park to Harlem and from East Side to West Side of the Big Apple.

The walk is being done in memory of those who’ve died for cancer and in hope for those who are living with it as well as for Caribbean nationals who wish to pursue further studies in tourism and hospitality but can’t afford it.

You can support the effort at https://www.generosity.com/volunteer-fundraising/every-step-matters or send a check to the Caribbean Tourism Organization Foundation Inc.
