SABINE STRONG 3.3
Countdown Clock
Our foundation is named in honor of Newington, New Hampshire Fire Chief Darin Sabine. Darin was born on August 4, 1984, in Newington, NH and his last alarm was on September 7, 2019 after a 2-year battle with colon cancer.
Chief Sabine was diagnosed in early 2017 with Stage 4 colon cancer. He had spent much of his short time here on earth either with family or at a fire station. He was dedicated to his family and brotherhood. He fought hard to spend as much time as he could with his wife and two little girls.
Our foundation's hope is that Chief Sabine's memory will live on as we raise funds to support first responders and their families who have been affected by cancer or other lines of duty catastrophic events.
The race length of 3.3 miles is in honor of Newington Fire Department 33.
At the Sabine Strong Foundation 33, we hope that people come to support our cause who knew the amazing person Darin was. We also hope that people who never had the privilege to know Darin, still find their way here. So, welcome!
Helping others was always in Darin's blood. In the many stories people tell one thing rings as loud as his laugh did, his desire and action to jump in to help others. This selflessness pushed him to excel in his career as well as be a pillar of support to so many. We thank you for your support as we carry on one of Darin's passions of helping others.
Darin was a person whom you could always hear before you could see. His bellowing laugh proceeded him. Darin was often found cracking a joke, playing a joke, researching something, cooking, and/or spending time with family and friends.
Darin was always quick to help others. Whether that be finding a way to get holiday toys to needy areas, lending his truck to a friend moving, making a late-night phone call, or visiting a friend in need.
