Myles\u2019s family and friends had t-shirts made for the participants. The turn-out to the&nbsp;event was a true testament to Myles\u2019 kind and caring nature.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-456 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/madd.org\/south-carolina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2022\/05\/Myles-pic-1-300x225-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/p>\n<p>The walk began from the Chapel with music playing and participants cheering. Orangeburg Public Safety stopped traffic so that the crowd could cross the busy street in front of the University. Everyone was upbeat while walking for Myles. When everyone arrived at the crash site, the family spoke about Myles and how his legacy can save lives by persuading fellow students and others to always designate a driver. His family released purple and gold balloons, the colors of Myles&#8217; fraternity, at the crash site. The family would return to the crash site, alone, later in the evening to place a handmade memorial.<\/p>\n<p>Myles\u2019 death inspired his family to start the Myles Project. Although still in the works, the purpose is to assist students, fraternities, and sororities in making the decision to designate a driver. The project will provide fraternities and sororities with disposable breathalyzers and education on the effects of drinking and driving.<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-457 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/madd.org\/south-carolina\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/67\/2022\/05\/Myles-pic-2-300x206-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\"><\/p>\n<p>There is no doubt, in speaking with Myles\u2019 friends and family that he would have been humbled by the turn-out to the event. It was apparent that in his 23 years, he touched many people. Myles\u2019 family has registered for Walk Like MADD Columbia on April 14th. Events such as our Walk Like MADD and A Mile for Myles are only the beginning for the Holland family. They plan to participate in and host more events to educate people on the dangers of drinking and driving, while remembering Myles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 20th, MADD staff and volunteer Patricia Voelker attended a memorial event for Myles Holland at Claflin University in Orangeburg called \u201cA Mile for Myles.&#8221; Participants walked from campus&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/madd.org\/south-carolina\/a-mile-for-myles\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">A Mile for Myles<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":458,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
