Dynarski, Freeman win Travia Recovery 5K Eric Dynarski conquered the conditions and a field of more than 150 runners to win the Richard Travia Recovery 5K held Saturday at Turkey Swamp Park in Freehold Township.

The race was directed by the Freehold Area Running Club with the NTAF Mid-Atlantic Spinal Cord Injury Fund. It was a fundraising event for Richard Travia, a Freehold Borough High School graduate who was paralyzed last summer after breaking his neck while body surfing in Manasquan. The injury has left him with minimal movement. He is currently undergoing out-patient therapy. Money raised from Saturday's race will help Travia and his parents cope with the financial burdens associated with his injury and rehabilitation. For more information visit www.richardtravia.com.
