On behalf of the Moshier family, I would like to extend my deepest appreciation for everyone who made the second annual Captain Timothy J. Moshier Memorial 5K Run/Walk a success.

On Saturday, April 26, our family was overwhelmed by the 650 people who came out to participate in the Tot Trot, Kids' Race and 5k. As we heard Mary Abba Gleason sing the national anthem we were reminded of all of our soldiers and Marines who are serving overseas and at home to protect our freedom. Tim Moshier was a man who believed in family and giving back to the community and we are proud to continue that tradition.

We would like to give a special thank you to our volunteers who worked tirelessly as well as the many corporate sponsors who contributed to our event.

A special thank you to our veterans groups who posted the colors -- Lansingburgh Veterans Club Honor Guard, the Patriot Guard and Rolling Thunder.

This year, the event raised more than $10,000, which will be divided between three designated charities: The Fisher House, The Gold Star Family Support Center at Fort Hood and the Captain Timothy J. Moshier Memorial Scholarship at Bethlehem High School. The newly created Captain Timothy J. Moshier Memorial Foundation was started this spring to aid the development of Tim's Race, which will happen for years to come.

Thank you for your commitment to remembering Tim and his love for this community.
