Marcus Ford graduated from Christiansburg High School in 2007 and from James Madison
University in 2011. He accepted a job in his senior year in college with Grant Thornton as a
consultant in Alexandria, VA. Sadly, Marcus and his family found out while he was a junior in
college that he had a hereditary heart disease called CPVT. Marcus passed away on March 17,
2012 in Arlington, VA from this disease. Each day that has passed since that day is very, very hard to face but we know that Marcus has a new heart now. Because of his love for sports and how he loved running we have created the Marcus Ford Annual Run/Walk 5K Celebration. We
cannot think about Marcus without thinking about a celebration of the person he was and the thousands of lives that he touched.

The 5K will begin and end at the Huckleberry Trail's New River Valley Mall entrance. Door prizes will be awarded and t-shirts will be on sale.

Monies raised from the Marcus Ford Annual Run/Walk 5K’s will go to his scholarship. The
Marcus Allen Ford Memorial Scholarship Fund is given each spring at Christiansburg High
School to a graduating senior who exemplifies the person that Marcus was to everyone he met.
To date, three scholarships have been given.
