This year my family is participating in a walk benefiting the Merrimack Valley Samaritans in memory of my niece, Joann. The Samaritans offers services to those contemplating suicide, and are instrumental in assisting families cope with their loss when a love one has passed. The "Walk for Hope" will take place on Saturday, October 21st. The walk is 1.5 miles and will be at Willows Professional Park, 811 Turnpike Street (Route 114), North Andover. We will be walking on "Team Joann". Your donation is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
