from Danfordsrunforacure.com

On April 7, 2009, after a long, hard, tough, and brave fight, Dan lost his battle with cancer. Dan was a competitive person by nature. He was inducted into the Methuen Hall of Fame in 1997 for his athletic accomplishments while at Methuen High School from 1984 to 1988. Dan was one of the regions top running backs. He scored 10 touchdowns as a junior and 6 as a senior while being credited with back to back 1,000 yard seasons. The powerful Ford was also a top quarter-miler on the track team. He was the Class B runner up in both his junior and senior years (50.8 seconds). Dan was a powerful force on the hockey team as well. Therefore, to honor the life of Danny Ford, and to continue the fight against cancer we will be holding this race every year. All of the money raised from this event will go towards athletic scholarships, and aiding the victims of cancer. Please join us for this 2nd annual event. The race will begin and end at the Fireside Restaurant and Pub in Methuen, MA. The race will be followed by an award ceremony and an eventful post race party!
