Organiser's Description
THE DRIVEWAY DOC: A TRIBUTE TO DR. MATT ROBERSON
_JOIN US IN HONORING THE LIFE OF DR. MATT ROBERSON, A BELOVED POWDERSVILLE/PIEDMONT COMMUNITY MEMBER AND ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON._
Welcome to the 2nd annual Driveway Doc 5K.
Matt was renowned for his unwavering kindness and dedication to helping others. His generosity extended far beyond the operating room, as he often provided medical care and advice to his neighbors, particularly the young athletes from the nearby Wren Youth Association, often directly from his driveway. Matt showed what it means to be kind and to serve his neighbor.
Tragically, Matt passed away from colon cancer in January 2024. To honor his legacy, we are hosting the "Driveway Doc: Matt Roberson Memorial 5K." This event aims to celebrate Matt's life and continue his spirit of giving by supporting Let There Be Mom and the Powdersville YMCA, two organizations that were very close to Matts heart. Let's come together to remember a remarkable man and the character traits that we should all strive to emulate.
