Brans Security Services has come to the aid of talented hepthathlete Nyota Peters and will make a contribution to the Nyota Peters fund this morning.
The donation will take place at the Water Chris Hotel at 11.15am this morning.
Peters is scheduled to attend the Montreal High Level Training Centre in Canada but some $1.1 million more is required to make her participation possible.
On Monday the Amateur Athletic Association of Guyana (AAAG) launched the Nyota Peters Training Fund which seeks to raise the required sum for the athlete to be at the centre by the March 1 deadline.
Peters is a bronze medal winner in the heptathlon at the recent Central America & Caribbean (CAC) Games last December.She had an outstanding career as a junior athlete in the long and triple jumps.
During the sojourn in Canada, Peters will be coached by IAAF coach Daniel St Hillaire who is credited as introducing her to the heptathlon while he was conducting a coaches’ course here in November, 2001.
St Hillaire’s club will be standing the medical and gym expenses of Peters while she is in Canada.
Peters was on a similar stint at the Olympic High Level Training Centre in Manaus, Brazil, last year, after which she performed creditably at the Whitsun-tide Games in Grenada.
Contributions to the fund could be made at Olympic House, 94 Oro-noque and Laluni Streets, Queenstown, Georgetown.
