The memorial run saw over 900 people register to participate and raised significant funds for the Constable Sarah Beckett Memorial Scholarship, which goes to youth education and raises awareness for traffic safety issues and community service provided by police
Meanwhile, 14-year-old Matthew Quigley was presented a plaque by Staff Sergeant Raj Sandhu for his many hours of humble volunteer service for the West Shore community.
In between his schooling and hockey, Matthew has volunteered over 1000 hours of his time to the Extreme Outreach Society, which organizes outreach activities for at-risk youth.
