Soccer marathon will honor youth's memory
Just as loss can echo throughout a community, so too can hope. On Aug. 23, hope will sound like cleats on grass, the breathing of athletes exerting themselves, the smack of laces on leather, and the enthusiastic cheers of victory. These sounds will be heard from sunrise to sunset during the Graeme Preston Memorial Soccer Marathon and reverberate long after in the hearts of participants.
Freehold Township resident Mia O'Brien, 15, who is a Girl Scout working toward her Silver award, is organizing the event. All donations will benefit the Graeme Preston Foundation for Life, a charity started by Graeme's family after the youngster's death this past spring.
