ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre has announced its forthcoming World Down Syndrome Awareness Family Fun Ride, set to take place on Sunday, March 22, 2026. This community-focused initiative is designed to foster public awareness and promote inclusive participation for all residents.
In a strategic partnership with the Antigua and Barbuda Cycling Federation and the advocacy group Good Humans 268 Inc., the event aims to merge health consciousness with community solidarity. The organizers have emphasized that the activity is entirely free and welcomes individuals across all age groups and physical capabilities.
To guarantee universal access, the event will feature a stationary bicycle on-site, accommodating those unable to participate in the traditional ride. Special prize categories will further incentivize involvement and celebrate participant effort.
The ride will commence at 8:00 a.m. along LIAT Road in Coolidge, St. George’s. Organizers are encouraging attendees to bring friends and family, highlighting the event’s dual mission: raising visibility for people with Down syndrome and strengthening community bonds through shared public engagement.
