After his heroics on the track over these years, Noah Lyles has stepped in to be a real-life hero. The American track athlete is aiming to help underprivileged communities in Jamaica after the disastrous hurricane Melissa through his Lyles’ Brothers Sports Foundation.
The Foundation aims to support youth and promote sustainable development through financial and other forms of support. Barring Lyles, other individuals associated with this Foundation include his brother, Josephus, and mother, Keisha Caine Bishop.
What Message Did Noah Lyles Give While Announcing His Foundation’s Exploits in Jamaica?
Lyles’ Foundation has also partnered with one of Jamaica’s own, Asafa Powell, in this noble work of helping the communities in Jamaica. The American athlete and the Jamaican veteran shared a brief message following their first endeavor as part of this project in St. Elizabeth.
In an X post, Lyles wrote, “Hey Everyone The Lyles Brothers Sports Foundation and Asafa Powell are Teaming up to send aid to smaller communities in Jamaica! We have already set a trip for St. Elizabeth.”
Lyles further welcomed any contribution from his fans towards this noble work. He stated, “Please help us raise Money for our next Trip to where we will be targeting areas in Westmorland and Trelawny. No amount is too Big Or Small.”
Powell also shared a message in the video, stating, “People are suffering right now. As much as I can do and I see a lot of people helping and thanks to Noah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield.”

Lyles has had an affectionate relationship with Jamaica over the years. His fiancée, Junelle Bromfield, is a Jamaican athlete, and the couple is also set to tie the knot in a few months. Moreover, Lyles has also shared intense rivalries with several Jamaican counterparts, such as Kishane Thompson and Oblique Seville.
Lyles Shares What’s Needed Out of Him to Be Called the Greatest American Sprinter
Throughout his career, Lyles has achieved remarkable success on the track, whether at the Olympics, World Championships, or Diamond League events. However, Lyles feels that he needs to enhance his tally further to be the most outstanding athlete to have come out of the United States so far, overtaking greats such as Carl Lewis and Michael Johnson.
Sharing his stance on him being the greatest American sprinter ever, Lyles said [via Speakeasy], “Not yet. I still believe I need one more gold medal before I want to say that I’ll be the greatest. I’ll tell you when LA comes, and I finally do get those three gold medals, then I’ll say for sure that I am the greatest American sprinter.”
So far in his career, Lyles has three Olympic medals to his name, including a gold medal in the 100m that he won last year at the Paris Olympics. Additionally, the American athlete has won two more bronze medals in the 200m distance.
