DAY OF REGISTRATION AVAILABLE

In memory of Dave Ashby
Interview on WBOC:
http://www.delmarvalife.com/ delmarvalife/daves-dewey-dash- honors-the-life-of-david- ashby/
Dave was a proud Dewey Beach homeowner who died suddenly of an undiagnosed arrhythmia just before his 29th birthday. He was well known in the community and throughout Delaware. His compassion for others and desire to live life to the fullest made a lasting impression on everyone he met. His family and friends would like to create a means to spread awareness about risks of undiagnosed irregular heartbeat, contribute to the town he called home through the Dewey Beach Beautification Project and gather and celebrate his life.
A restaurant crawl through Dewey Beach will be held afterward to keep friends (old and new!) and family together a bit longer. We'll be heading to The Rusty Rudder, The Lighthouse Cove, Nalu, Woody's, Gary's, Dewey Beach Country Club, Starboard and Starbiar Raw!
