A Beautiful Day For The Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Walk

Annual Walk Across Southeastern Connecticut Saturday raises thousands for breast cancer research - add your photos to our gallery!

Whether they started at 7 a.m., in Old Saybrook, 10:30 a.m., in East Lyme, or 1 p.m., in Niantic, the several hundred walkers who participated in the annual Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation Walk Across Southeastern Connecticut participated for the same reason - to find a cure for breast cancer.

Those early risers walked 26.2 miles to the finish line at Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford. Those who started in East Lyme walked 13.1 miles. And those who gathered at the Niantic Baptist Church in the early afternoon walked 6.5 miles to raise money for grants to breast cancer researchers.

The weather was perfect - the rest stops were full of positive energy and hope, and the finish line was inspirational.

I wondered that myself when I looked at it, then noticed that lots of our local farmers marketsRead More aren't on the map. When I dug a little deeper, I noticed that all the markets the state lists are "self-reported" in other words, markets have to let the state know and then they're added.

As a parent of 2 children that attend NCS, I do not think the elementary school is the best place toRead More relocate Coastal Connection to. I feel that beyond my concerns, my children may feel threatened or uncomfortable in a school with kids that are so much older than they are. It just doesn't seem like this would be the best decision for any of the children that would be affected by this change.
