    Follow A Dream Partners with MATCO Tools

    Marstons Mills, MA— Follow A Dream announced today a partnership with MATCO Tools. MATCO is a manufacturer and distributor of quality professional automotive equipment, tools and toolboxes. MATCO, a leading tool source to Vocational Programs throughout the country, provides special discounts and buying programs to future Professional Technicians and Instructors.

    Jay Blake, Founder and Owner of Follow A Dream, Inc., stated, “We’re excited to work with and promote MATCO and their Vocational Sales Program to the thousands of people we meet through our presentations at Vocational schools throughout the country. They’re a great source for what’s new in the tool market and offer the highest quality products.”

    MATCO began operation in 1946 and since 1979 has sold products directly to professional mechanics, enthusiasts, and those who value quality tools through a network of independent franchised mobile distributors.

    The Follow A Dream NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car is owned and operated by Jay Blake; the only totally blind crew chief in the world of motor sports, and one of the nation’s most inspirational speakers. Jay Blake has been featured on NBC, CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, CNN, and NECN, to name a few.

    Follow A Dream, a 501c3 non profit corporation is Mr. Blake’s answer to merging his 20-year love of drag racing with what he views as his responsibility to demonstrate through personal example, that dreams do not have to be surrendered to a life-altering or potentially catastrophic disability. Mr. Blake, a career mechanic, suffered an industrial accident in 1997 that rendered him totally blind. Instead of giving up, he forged ahead with his dream of racing and ultimately assembled an enthusiastic race team.
