Walk With Joe Memorial 5K Walk at Monmouth Battlefield State Park

Patrick "Joe" Driscoll, a hero aboard Flight 93 along with the other passengers and crew, stood tall and stopped Flight 93 from hitting its target in Washington, D.C.

To honor Joe's memory and give comfort to his family we will celebrate the tenth annual Walk with Joe, a Memorial 5K Walk on Sept. 10, 2011 at 10 a.m. Location: Monmouth Battlefield State Park.

Beneficiaries include the Samaritan Center in Manalapan, the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA; the Christopher Gray Memorial Scholarship Fund at the University of West Virginia; the Child Advocacy Center in Freehold, NJ; the American Recreational Military Services (ARMS); the Freehold Open Door Food Bank; Monmouth Battlefield State Park; the Monmouth County Mount Mitchell Park; Hurricane Katrina relief efforts; youth athletic programs;  the RJM Foundation (a special needs youth organization); and non-profit organizations serving the Manalapan area with humanitarian aid and programs.

More than $175,000.00 has been donated to these beneficiaries since the first Walk with Joe in 2002.
