Living the Dream

"Nathan was the guy who was living life, and he’d want us to live it right.”
Those were Robin DeBruycker’s words to runners before the fifth annual Living the Dream Run on Aug. 12. About 70 people laced up their shoes and ran around Columbus for a good cause.
The run serves as a fundraiser for the Nathan Memorial Fund, in memory of DeBruycker’s son who was killed in a motorcycle accident. The Fund helps families in need with medical expenses, creates scholarships, and assists other local causes.
