The Westbrook Strong 5K is in honor of Matt Rairdon, a Westbrook High School and St. Joseph's College graduate who went on to become a nurse. He was killed by his partner in 2013.
"People think eight years is a long time, but when you lose somebody, especially, she lost a sibling, we lost a child. That pain is still pretty raw, pretty deep," said Matt's mother, Laurie.
