Mattapoisett resident Rob Grant is raising funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital via his next marathon: the Memphis Marathon on December 3.

"I'm dedicated to using my running to make an impact," said Grant.

Grant is doubling his fundraising efforts with his running goals. The December event will be his fourteenth marathon, and he hopes to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

His next fundraising event will be a raffle at Texas Roadhouse at 131 Faunce Corner Mall Road on September 5, 4-8 p.m. Up for grabs is a Boston Celtics basketball autographed by head coach Brad Stevens (valued at $273). Drawings will be held at 8 p.m.
