Keeping the Dream

I’ll be singing a couple songs at the Robert Matthews Memorial Community and Race at Farquhar Park, York City tomorrow. The event starts at 8:00 a.m. There will be a race and an awards ceremony around 10:00 and I’m scheduled to sing at 10:35 a.m., give or take. Anyway, there will be vendors and activities, and the day is meant for children, so it should be a really nice family day.

Robert Matthews was an active community member, greatly loved by those who knew him and many who did not know him, but were impacted by his presence and caring. He died in a tragic car accident several years ago. This was taken from York Road Runners President’s Message:

Community Day/Memorial Race in honor of Robert Matthews - August 11th.

The event is Community Day/Memorial Race in honor of Robert Matthews. Robert, well known and beloved in the community by many, lived his life to help children and their families to overcome the debilitating emotions, fears that are often the result of being victimized. This day is to be a fun celebration of all the qualities that Robert possessed, and the things that he loved. He did love being a therapist for youth and he loved all things that contribute to the health of youth, exercise being one of these things.For more information, please contact Stephanie Fry, Development and PR Specialist Victim Assistance Center at sfry@netrax.net or call at (717) 854-3131 Ext 109.

Hope to see you!
