CONWAY — While right-wing rallyers are marching in Washington, I’m happy to report that a walk of a much kindlier nature is once again taking place today here in Mount Washington Valley, and it’s one that people of all political persuasions support: the 24th annual Jen’s Friends “Climb Aganst Cancer,” being held this morning up Mount Cranmore.
Held to raise funds for cancer patients in our valley, there is nothing political about it — unlike what’s taking place in D.C. by those who support those who invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
