Biography
Meet Donna Mae, a Receptionist in the Business and Operations Support Department. We interviewed her to learn more about her reasons for giving back to the community. Take a moment to read her story.
Please provide the name of the initiative cause and how long have you been involved?
I have been running and/or walking for charity for 27 years.
Why did you choose to support it?
I choose to run/walk for charity because it allows me to make a meaningful difference.
Overall, what is the charitable organisation’s mission and how does it make a difference to the people/cause it aims to help?
I do not have a particular charity that I run/walk for but these are a few of the charities I have supported: Bermuda Diabetes, Bermuda Union of Teachers, Women’s Resource Centre, Bermuda Red Cross, Coalition For The Protection of Children, Tomorrow’s Voices, Ovarian Cancer Awareness Bermuda (OCAB), PALS, Alzheimer’s & Dementia Bermuda to name a few.
What is your specific contribution to the initiative/cause and how have you made an impact to the people/cause it aims to help?
I feel I have made an impact by acting as Race Director for two years for the OCAB 5K which saw close to 300 participants support the cause for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Bermuda. My participation in events year after year and donating money on the sign up page of the event is another great way to make an impact.
How does your charitable involvement align with the BMA’s core values?
I believe my charitable involvement aligns with the BMA’s core values through my Professionalism: whatever I set my name to, I make sure to hold myself to a high standard with Professionalism, Integrity, Accountability and definitely Collaboration.
