North Reading's Nate Simons Honored By Revolution

The New England Revolution honored North Reading's Nate Simons as the Hero of the Match at the team’s home game on Saturday, June 17 against the Chicago Fire. Simons was recognized during a pregame ceremony for being the first full-time employee with Down syndrome at Boston Children’s Hospital.

Nate started working in the program part-time, but was soon offered a full-time position. He currently resides in Brookline. He had a sideline view of the Revs pregame warmups and enjoyed the game from the Putnam Club.

The Revs’ Hero of the Match program honors a local first responder, member of the armed forces or individual making a difference in the community at each home game during the 2016 season.
