Walk Day in Vermont is a day where we
can all put aside everything else in our
lives and share our space, our stories, our
laughter, and our tears to raise money that
saves lives. At the walk, we’re more than
one person living with breast cancer, and
instead, we are part of a community of
people ready to take action. Riley Rink at
Hunter Park, 410 Hunter Park Rd., Manchester.
