Dylan Moore Days is not only about celebrating the life of a special little boy that the community adopted as the "Roanoke Valley Cowboy"; it is also about "paying it forward".

The Moore family received an overwhelming amount of support during Dylan's illness and has made Dylan Moore Days an annual event benefit to help other families going through a medical crisis. 

Dylan Days 2015 beneficiaries will be Bella Berman and the family of Lisa Whitby. Bella is battling leukemia and Lisa recently lost her battle with leukemia.

Saturday morning the 1st Annual Dylan Days 5K walk-run was held on the Roanoke Rapids Canal Trail in Roanoke Rapids.  Dylan's sister Skylar Moore organized the 5K event and stated "I want to thank everyone who came out and participated and helped or donated items."
