I am writing in regards to the “Run for Ryan”, an annual run to benefit the Ryan Purcell Foundation. The Ryan Purcell Foundation was founded for my cousin Ryan Purcell. Two years ago he was hit and killed by a drunk driver on Seneca. It was a hit and run, however the driver was eventually caught. Ryan loved Buffalo and together he and I used to go check out the Central Terminal, The Richardson Complex, the Darwin Martin House, the grain mills, old Bethlehem Steel… He was so full of life and potential. He was also a track star in West Seneca and at Fredonia he was studying engineering. The money we raise goes to a scholarship fund that is awarded each year and other charities. Please see Facebook for more details.
