Dave McGillivray Ran 42nd Boston Marathon Monday Night in Support of the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation
Group raises $45K so far and still accepting donations

BOSTON (April 24, 2014) – The race director of the B.A.A. Boston Marathon, Dave McGillivray, ran his 42nd Boston Marathon on Monday – starting at 7 p.m. after everyone else had finished and ending about four hours later – to benefit the Martin W. Richard Charitable Foundation.

McGillivray ran as part of Team MR8 to benefit the foundation, which was formed by the parents of the 8-year-old boy killed at the Boston Marathon bombings last year. His group raised more than $45,000 and is still accepting donations. To donate, visit this link set up at First Giving.

McGillivray, president of DMSE Sports, was joined on his evening Boston Marathon run by Sean Ryan from Green Bay, Doug Kaplan from Chicago and others, including Josh Nemzer of the B.A.A., who ran 16 miles with them. The team was supported along the course by Bob McGillivray, Ron Kramer and Bob Myette.

"The 2014 Boston Marathon was one for the ages, it was simply epic," McGillivray said. “When we ran the course, it was dark and quiet – unlike earlier when I went through the course on the scooter the first time when there was about a million-plus spectators, there seemed to be about only 10 spectators along the entire course the second time through! Although I was tired when I started, it ended up being one of the easiest runs I’ve had in years. Now I’ll start training for the Ironman!”

McGillivray is referring to his plan to return to Kona, Hawaii in October to participate in the Ironman Triathlon World Championship for the ninth time – but for the first time in 25 years.

McGillivray learned he had coronary heart disease last fall and has spoken out about getting healthy and going in for heart tests, even if you think you are healthy and in shape. He has lost 27 pounds, dropped his cholesterol level by over 70 points and has been following a very, very strict and healthy diet, which he credits as having given him his health back and now feels he is in his best shape in 15 years.

McGillivray gained national prominence with his 1978 cross country run that took 80 days and raised almost $150,000 for the Jimmy Fund – the first money any runner ever raised for a cancer charity, according to Runner’s World. He has completed a number of similar feats of endurance since his groundbreaking cross country trek, including a second cross-country run in 2004 from San Francisco to Boston as part of TREK USA, a relay team event that raised more than $300,000 for five children’s charities. He has now logged more than 150,000 miles, eight Hawaii Ironman Triathlons and now has finished 131 marathons – including this past Monday’s Boston Marathon.

McGillivray is a pioneer in what is now one of the most important aspects of the endurance sports industry – combining athletics with philanthropy. Nearly every DMSE Sports event combines fitness and fundraising, giving back to the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children’s Hospital, Lazarus House and many others charities and non-profit organizations in New England and across the country. He along with all the events he has directed have helped raised $100 million for charity over the years since starting DMSE Sports in 1981. The firm is now a leader in sports event management, specializing in creating, marketing and producing mass participatory athletic events throughout the U.S. and abroad. In addition to the B.A.A. Boston Marathon, DMSE manages more than 25 major road races per year, including the TD Beach to Beacon in Maine, the New Balance Falmouth Road Race on Cape Cod, the Finish at the 50 at Patriot Place, Run for the Dream in Williamsburg, Va., the Bellin Run in Green Bay, Wis., the Feaster Five Thanksgiving Day Road Race and the Across the Bay 10K in Annapolis, Maryland, among others.

Support for Library Expansion Article

Editor:

 

Please support the Hopkinton Public Library with your vote at Annual Town Meeting (ATM) May 5th in the Middle School Auditorium and at the ballot at Annual Town Election May 19th; both votes are necessary for the library expansion and improvement project to go forward.

 

Hopkinton is blessed to have a dedicated group of volunteers that had a vision for a vastly improved library space and then, too, the necessary dedication to position us to receive substantial grant funding from the State.  The expansion project will improve accessibility where currently some visitors are not able to utilize the children’s room or the bathroom facilities, will add meeting and study space where there currently is almost none, and will provide much needed space for expanded resources and programming. Please vote yes at both ATM May 5th on Article 15 and at Election May 19th.

 

“Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors. The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.” – Carl Sagan

Please also consider joining the 1,000 homes for the Library effort by pledging a donation of $1,000 or more; your donation can be made over time. When our library was first funded in 1893, it was in response to a challenge by resident John Quincy Adams whereby he would donate $4,000 if the residents raised $10,000 and build the library in 2 years. Fifteen members of the community funded the entire cost of the library. Please consider joining our family, honoring those original founders, and pledge your donation today.

Hopkinton Middle School Drama Club to present 
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR First Weekend in May

 

HOPKINTON, MA.  --  It’s been 40 years since JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR first hit the big screen, but the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice musical has morphed from a controversial Broadway show to a time-tested classic.  Always one step ahead in the drama scene, the Drama Club of Hopkinton Middle School will perform the beloved musical with a live orchestra May 2, 3 and 4 at the Hopkinton Middle School Auditorium.

    The 70 students in the cast have been rehearsing since February, Director Hallyann Gifford said this week.  It’s the first time Hopkinton Middle students have performed a show that is sung completely, she said.

    Like the school’s acclaimed fall show, I Never Saw Another Butterfly, this rock opera is about faith and hope in the face of oppression and evil, Gifford said. “Together, they create a theme for this whole year: faith, hope and love. I think they complement each other well.”

     Gifford, who once portrayed Mary Magdalene, “I’ve always loved the show. It’s an incredibly powerful piece that manages to put electricity into an ancient but timeless story.”

    The show will last approximately two and one-half hours, with intermission.  Shows are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday.

 

Record Gift in Milford

Milford National Bank presents the largest gift in the bank’s 165-year history, $500,000, to support Milford Regional Medical Center’s building expansion. Pictured left right: Martin Richman, executive director, Milford Regional Healthcare Foundation; Kristin Carvalho, president and CEO, Milford National Bank; and Francis M. Saba, CEO, Milford Regional.

April 22, 2014 — Milford Regional Healthcare Foundation announced a gift of $500,000 from The Milford National Bank to support a major capital initiative that will result in a new emergency department, intensive care unit and private patient rooms at Milford Regional Medical Center. This gift is part of $16.5 million the capital campaign has already raised towards a goal of $25 million.

 

“Milford National Bank and our Medical Center have been partners for years in support of our community,” says John Burns, chairman of ExcellenceThe Campaign for Milford Regional Medical Center, as well as the Board of Trustees of Milford Regional Medical Center.  “We selected Excellence as a campaign theme because it spoke eloquently not only to the initiative we were planning, but to the people in the community we care for, the people at the Medical Center who provide that care, and very importantly, organizations like the Milford National Bank that consistently step up when the community’s healthcare is the subject at hand.  We are so thankful for our continuing relationship with them, and for their exceptional generosity toward Excellence.

 

The new, two-story structure at Milford Regional will more than double the size of the current ED from 30 to 52 private treatment rooms, increase the number of patient rooms in the ICU from 10 to 16 expanding their size to accommodate the latest technology, and add a 24-bed private room unit with the intent to convert all hospital patient rooms to private. 

 

“We know the values that make up a strong community, and believe there are few that are more important than quality healthcare,” says Kristin T. Carvalho, president and CEO of Milford National.  “We are proud to partner with Milford Regional in this precedent-setting initiative, and are always ready to join hands with the Medical Center to provide a better life in our community.  It is a mission we share with great pride.” 

 

Founded in 1849, The Milford National Bank and Trust Company is one of the oldest financial institutions serving the Greater Milford area. In addition to a full range of financial services tailored to meet the needs of individuals and businesses, they are committed to helping the community grow and prosper, as their gift to Excellence  demonstrates.  Milford National currently has three offices in Milford, one in Mendon, and another in Bellingham.

Support for Frank Sivo

Dear Editor,

 

With the multitude of problems and expenses facing both our schools and Hopkinton as a whole, we need, now more than ever, a disciplined, focused, pragmatic, logical, creative, organized, problem-solver on our School Committee.  This unique combination of traits is most commonly found in those working in the engineering field.  Frank Sivo has demonstrated, via both his engineering and management background, that he possesses the important qualities we need to regain a disciplined approach to both raising the bar of our academic program, and creatively meet the attendant financial implications as we continue moving forward.

I ask you to join me in supporting Frank for School Committee.

 

Sincerely,
