In March 2010, Master Sergeant Mark A. Eberly, an 18-year Veteran of the US Army, was killed while training for the National Guard Marathon. He was a dedicated Soldier, but mostly a beloved father, son, brother, and friend.

The event will be held November 6th @ 9am at Norristown Farm Park, Norristown, PA
