Congratulations to the dynamic duo Matt and Mary Clay, an unbeatable husband and wife team. Both have been intimately involved with OYE Honduras. Matt has served as a board member and University Volunteer coordinator for the passed five years, and Mary Clay has initiated a University Internship program that sends Social work majors to OYE for internships. Per tradition, the two teamed up to run the Richmond Marathon and raise scholarship funds for OYE.

The dynamic duo shared this recap:

Matt and Mary Clay Race 4 OYE

Race 4 OYE!

Yesterday, June 26th, Team OYE participated in the Maraton Internacional de La Prensa in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. The events were a 10.5 km race and a 21 km run around the city of San Pedro Sula. Iloany Ochoa, Sandra Hadith Alvarado, Riley Leonard, Jackie Krizovensky ran the 10.5 km race and Michael Solis, Demetri Lopez, and Ana Luisa Ahern finished the 21 km half marathon. Coty Mayo, Fabiola Oro and Edoardo Umanzor cheered Team OYE on as we ran in the San Pedro Sula sun. The weather on race day was a cool 90 degrees F with high humidity making it feel like 101! Team OYE managed to stay hydrated and make it across the finish line with proud smiles. Together the team fundraised over $5,000 for OYE's programs! Thank you to all of Race 4 OYE's supporters and fans for making this event such an incredible success! Check out the runnner's blogs: Michael, Mechie & Ana.
