4th Community Matters Foundation 5K
In Memory of David Ashby
August 8, 2026 – Saturday
Dewey Beach, DE
Shirts guaranteed for first 155 registrations
A Ten Sisters of Dewey Beach Road Race Series Event
Dave was a proud Dewey Beach homeowner who passed away suddenly of an undiagnosed cardiac arrhythmia just before his 29th birthday. His compassion for others and his desire to live life to the fullest made a lasting impression on everyone he met. His family and friends would like to create a means to spread awareness about the risks of irregular heartbeat, support the DE beach community by donating defibrillator machines and associated training, and hands only CPR education to community organizations and small businesses.
Past race proceeds have enabled us to donate 19 AED machines to local businesses, necessary to shock a stoped heart back to a normal rhythm. This includes an AED tower available 24/7 in Dewey on the bay side boardwalk area.
Please help us expand the number of hearts protected through your race participation and/or donation. Thanks in advance!
