“We are very excited to continue the work, started last year, and this year we are encouraging more persons to join the movement as we move in the direction for a reduction in chronic non-communicable diseases,” Ms. Richardson said. “Special thanks to the Anguilla Social Security Board, Scotiabank, Digicel, FLOW for joining the movement today and embracing the ‘Move Ya Body’ Campaign. We are happy to share in our efforts, and we encourage others to join the movement.”
Other speakers were Mr. Cardigan Connor, Parliamentary Secretary, Sports; and Mr. Foster Rogers, Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health and Social Development, both of whom commended the movement for its work.
