Brennan Wyman and Lee Thompson get signs ready to hang up during Sunday's Walk For HOPE. The annual walk is being held today to spread a message of hope and awareness during Suicide Awareness Month.
SANDPOINT — Long before walkers begin their trek across the Long Bridge today, volunteers were busy behind the scenes preparing signs, signing up walkers and taking care of last-minute details for Sunday's Walk for HOPE.
"It's really important," Teagan Newsom said. "Especially because it's at the beginning of September."
The walk, right before the start of school, is a cool thing to have right before school starts, agreed fellow student council members Paul Kent and Izzy Stark.
