Today was the 11th annual Alex Handy 5k. The Medway Secondary Parent Teacher Organization (MSPTO) runs this race at the VFW. The event and charity honor Alex Handy of Medway, a 13-year-old who was struck and killed while crossing Rte. 109 in 2006. Project Alex has raised over $250,000 since it started. In addition to sponsoring crossing signs and blue crosswalks around town, Project Alex promotes safety by giving away bike helmets and offers scholarships to local students.
