Walking for hunger

Cushing Academy in Ashburnham students Sintayema Taye, Mathew Spring, Lovell Gaeu and Rick Trenchard recently braved rainy weather to participate in Project Bread's 40th annual Walk for Hunger. More than 40,000 dedicated walkers showed their commitment to the cause by taking part in the event that raised a record-breaking $3.8 million. Funds go to emergency food programs, which are facing steep increases in the cost of food and fuel. For more information, visit www.projectbread.org. COURTESY PHOTO
