If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
I would walk a hundred miles to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.

5th annual John's Race, September 14th, 2008

On July 31, 2003 John F. Kealey III at the age of 21, tragically lost his life in a car crash caused by a negligent driver that had been drinking. Five months later, John’s girlfriend gave birth to their daughter, Kyli. Friends and family of John decided to organize this annual road race that will consist of a 5k walk/run & a 10k run while also promoting a day of family togetherness. Friends & Family hope you will join us in celebrating John in this special event.
