Bermuda Government Health Minister Patrice Minors said: “This event has become somewhat of an institution on our annual spring calendar and has helped to raise thousands of dollars for needy and worthwhile charities and organisations. I want to throw my support behind the effort this year not just as the Minister but as a participant. While I have completed the End-to-End walk on two occasions, I am pleased to say that this time I will be out there as an End-to-End cyclist.”

End-to-End Sponsors
Bank of Bermuda Foundation
“Bank of Bermuda Foundation is delighted to once again sponsor the Bermuda End to End. Not only does this event bring together a large cross section of the community but also the funds raised benefit a range of charities with a number of them this year focused on youth development. Last year’s Youth Invasion was particularly successful in attracting younger participants and we are pleased this is continuing, while two shorter distances are also being introduced which we hope will encourage even greater participation. The Foundation is committed to supporting charitable initiatives in Bermuda and we will continue to support and encourage our young people to get involved in their community and to learn and appreciate the aspects of charitable giving, healthy lifestyles and teamwork. The Bermuda End to End combines all these elements in a fun atmosphere in which everyone can get involved” said Dennis Tucker of the Bank of Bermuda Foundation.
M3 Wireless
"I don’t think anyone would argue that the Bermuda End-to-End is the event that everyone in the community looks forward to every year. Being a Bermudian company, M3 Wireless sees its affiliation with the Bermuda End-to-End as a natural fit. And, that’s why it’s been our major annual sponsorship commitment for the past 8 (eight) years. No other event promotes and celebrates health, the environment, and fun while embracing the majority of the Bermuda community – our customers" said John Narraway, Chief Operating Officer of M3 Wireless.
