Luke lives on

GOSHEN — A 5K race and fundraiser will celebrate the life of Lucas O’Connor, a Goshen High School student who died in a car accident in July 2015.

Luke became an organ donor shortly before his passing, and he was able to save many lives because of his decision.

The race, scheduled for Sunday, May 29, will start and finish at 30 Matthews St., Goshen. The out and back course uses part of the Old Heritage Trail.

Runners/walkers pay $25, or $30 day of race. (Guaranteed shirt if registered by May 1.)

Proceeds will go to Donate Life and the Lucas O’Connor Scholarship.

Local prizes will be awarded to the first overall male and female runners and walkers, and to the top three male and female runners in each age group.

Refreshments from local businesses will be provided.
