About Us

"When I was a student at St Catherine High School, I never imagined cricket would take me to the world stage, nor that I would one day be nominated for Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. But I always knew I would come back. For over ten years, I have been quietly supporting young athletes in Jamaica with equipment and supplies. ReLeaf Jamaica is the next chapter. It is sport with purpose—where every boundary scored helps plant a tree, and every match builds a more resilient future for Jamaican communities."
