Thank you from the Second Annual
Run for Dave!

Thanks to all who joined us on Saturday, May 23, 2009 at 9:15 AM to support Dartmouth Police Officer Dave Mello and his family in a 5.3-mile road race in Padanaram Village, Dartmouth. Your efforts will provide continuing financial assistance. This need results from Dave having been rendered a quadriplegic in a 2005 automobile accident.
