Rob Matthews from Port Orange FL, will be running the NYC Marathon on November 4, 2007 for the charity The Nicholas Rossomando Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Rob Matthews has promised to raise at least $2,500 for the cause while he trains for (and runs!) the New York City Marathon. 

Nick was a fireman with the elite rescue company located on Staten Island, Rescue 5. Nick, along with his fellow firefighters from that company, answered the call to the World Trade Center on 9/11/01.  He had just finished a tour and was getting ready to go home when the call came in. Nevertheless, he jumped on the truck with the rest of the men and rushed to the towers.   Nick and the rest of those valiant young men never returned home that evening.

Nick gave his life while saving others. He was just 35 years old. Nick’s mother founded the Nicholas Rossomando Memorial Scholarship Fund, shortly after the events of September 11, 2001 as a way of taking a national tragedy and making something good come of it by helping local area high school students attend college with scholarships.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, Nick gave his life trying to help. Now it's our turn to help Nick. 

Please help the cause by giving what you can. All donations are 100% tax deductible and your receipt for donation will be send within 30 days.
