Anne Mello, End-to-End Board Chair emphasized that the organization continues to seek local charities that work to support the well-being of our island: “We are dedicated to identifying charitable initiatives that contribute to the vitality of our community. Additionally, the Bermuda End-to-End takes pride in its role as a steward of the Bermuda Railway Trail, the home of our event, and we remain dedicated to enhancing and maintaining this vital island passage.”
