Why This Race Matters
This race is especially meaningful to the organizers of the event as they are hosting the event in honor of Matt Robertson.  Matt was an Emeritus Board Member of Holiday Heroes.  He was a kind man that cared about bringing joy, comfort, and happiness to pediatric patents and their families.  He was always looking for a way to help someone else and his presence made a different for everyone fortunate enough to know him.  His legacy is living on in every child and family that Holiday Heroes brings joy.
