5K Run Honors Memory Of Former Neshaminy Teacher

Runners and walkers participated in a 5K race and one-mile fun walk to honor the life of a late Neshaminy teacher.

Clayton Thomas was a math teacher and gymnastic coach at Neshaminy High School. A 34-year veteran with the Neshaminy School District, Thomas also served for 16 years on the Langhorne Borough Council where he was elected vice president in 2006.

In November of 2006, Clayton died of pulmonary fibrosis -- a debilitating and incurable lung disease.

In his memory and for his many years of community service, the Langhorne Borough Business Association, for the fourth year in a row, hosted the event to benefit local students.

Proceeds from Saturday's event will benefit Neshaminy High School students attending Bucks County Community College.

Anyone still wishing to donate can contact race director Kristine Michael at 215-702-9890.
