To­ba­go-born ath­lete Willon Nurse will not par­tic­i­pate in the UWI SPEC In­ter­na­tion­al Half-Marathon on Sun­day to win, but to raise more aware­ness for na­tion­al foot­baller Akeem Adams, who is still in crit­i­cal con­di­tion.

Adams, 22, who plays for Fer­enc­varosi TC in Hun­gary, suf­fered a heart at­tack on Sep­tem­ber 25. Fol­low­ing the heart at­tack, Adams' left leg had to be am­pu­tat­ed, in what was called a life-sav­ing surgery.

Since Sep­tem­ber 25, thou­sands of cit­i­zens from T&T and around the world have been play­ing their part to en­sure Adams has a speedy re­cov­ery. Pro­ceeds from the In­ter­na­tion­al friend­ly on Oc­to­ber 15 be­tween T&T and NZ at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um in Mu­cu­rapo went to­wards Adams' re­cov­ery.
