On November 3, 2012 the Friends of Michael Joyce, Inc. will host the 5K2Play run/walk road race. The race will start and finish at DCR’s Mother’s Rest in South Boston, MA. The race will start at 9:00 AM and registration opens at 7:30 AM. The event will raise money for the revitalization of the Michael Joyce Memorial Playground. Currently the playground isn’t handicap accessible and is in need of an update. The Friends of Michael Joyce are rebuilding the playground in order to further help the local community.
Husband, father, community activist, and tireless public servant, Michael Joyce was an ordinary man with an extraordinary heart. To the thousands of immigrants he helped along the road to citizenship and naturalization, Mike was a mentor, a trusted advisor, and a faithful friend. He treated everyone with compassion, respect, and dignity. Michael Joyce never asked a person’s race, color, or creed. He would only ask, “How can I help?” He taught us the true meaning of life—people helping people.
