This year’s Merrick’s Walk on Sunday, February 24th featured a new 5K Fun Run and was hosted by former Star94 DJ Tom Sullivan. Despite the gloomy weather, the crowds showed up in force! We were thrilled to see many parents with young children in attendance, which supports our mission of PREVENTING eating disorders before they start. Congratulations to Lexi Hunter for creating our winning Butterfly T-shirt Design, to the Galloway Team for the largest team donation and Helen Ryan for the highest individual donation. All funds raised will support our Community and School Outreach Programs.
 Friends enjoying fun at Merrick’s Walk!
