About Terry...
Terry Muzzy, the Student Assistant Specialist for the Downingtown School District, was killed tragically in an automobile accident early in 2006. During his 16-year tenure, Terry--who was affectionately known as "Muz"--counseled students through a variety of personal crises, saving lives in the process.

     Terry’s tireless efforts influenced countless teens and families sparing them the devastation of drug addiction, alcohol abuse, and other life endangering events. Through his kid-first mentality and immutable character, Terry made sure that each student received the help they needed when they needed it.

     As the founder of LINK, a leadership program at both Downingtown High School campuses that ties together different social groups within the high school community, Terry worked with teens to lay a common foundation for harmony and acceptance in order to create a positive and welcoming school environment.

     Combining his compassionate and insightful nature with his delightfully idiosyncratic sense of humor, Terry made more colorful the lives of everyone he touched.  His limitless energy supply made his person and his message ubiquitous throughout the District.

     An avid runner, Terry enjoyed jogging nearly every day after work with his beloved dog, Buddy.

Past Events...
In an effort to continue Terry's important work with teens, we just finished hosting the third annual Terry Muzzy Run on April 19, 2009 along the Struble Trail in Downingtown, PA.  Over 300 people participated in a very special fundraiser event.  Proceeds from the walk/run will go toward the the funding of parent and teen programs.  We congratulate the winners of the race:  Frank McCartney and Theresa Griffin.
