Wednesday Wisdom 🌿 | Purpose in Motion

At the Zion 5K in Trinidad — held in support of the Cancer Society of Trinidad & Tobago — Dr. Joanne Balkaran shared her personal why.
Having lost her mother to cancer and celebrating her sister-in-law’s survival, she continues to advocate for awareness, early detection, and compassion-driven giving.

“When you give, give with your heart. When you support, do it because it means something.”

Her message reminds us that leadership isn’t only about achievement — it’s about empathy and purpose in action.
