Danielle Bushrow loves hiking and making a difference. When she participates in Wilderness Heals, a three-day hike through New Hampshire’s White Mountains, she’ll get to do both. The pledge hike raises money and awareness for the Boston-based Elizabeth Stone House, which provides services for victims of domestic violence, among other things. The all-female hike features several route options so that hikers of all different abilities can participate, as long as they raise at least $1500 and participate in a training hike. Bushrow, a Roslindale resident, recently answered some questions for the Transcript TAB about the upcoming hike…

Every year, dozens of women take to New Hampshire’s White Mountains for Wilderness Heals, a three-day weekend of hiking in support of victims of abusive relationships. This year Melrosian Jayne Lynch will be among the 60 hikers seeking to spur much-needed donations Friday through Sunday, July 19 through 21.
“We’re raising money for the Elizabeth Stone House, which helps to support mostly women and children who have been in abusive relationships,” said Lynch. “It’s my first time participating. I have sponsored friends who have done it in the past.”
Lynch will be hiking with her college roommate and fellow teacher Linda Vincent. Dealing with the repercussions of abuse is part of the job.
“I think everybody knows somebody who has been in a situation they didn’t know how to get out of, or maybe they wanted to ask for help but didn’t know how,” Lynch said. “We both see the effects of trauma on families. This is a great opportunity to raise the money to support them.”
Organizers hope to surpass last year’s total donations, an impressive $200,000. That money goes to support victims of abusive relationships through Stone House services, including its shelter, counseling, financial literacy classes, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses.

A dozen plastic pink flamingos are making their way onto selected front lawns across the city, accompanied by a sign saying, “You got flocked.”
Flamingo Flocking is a national movement created to raise money to fight for breast cancer. Peabody resident Liz Mover is using it as a fun way to spread awareness of the North Shore Cancer Walk in Salem.
“It’s been an awesome way to get the community aware of the walk,” said Mover. It allows people to give a small donation to the cause and “send the flock to the next house.”
On Sunday, June 23, Mover and her 10-member team will participate in the 29th annual North Shore Cancer Walk under their group name “Team Breasties,” supporting a cause that has changed her life.
In February 2018, Mover was diagnosed with breast cancer. After feeling a lump and experiencing pain in her arm, she went to the Mass General/North Shore Outpatient Center in Danvers, where she received a mammogram, ultrasound and biopsy that same day.

A local resident has been battling cancer by putting one foot in front of the other for almost three decades and she is looking forward to doing it all over again during the 29th annual North Shore Cancer WALK on June 23.
The walk began as an internal fundraiser for North Shore Medical Center’s Salem campus but has grown to become a popular public event that raises money for cancer-related services such as clinical trials, wellness care and other oncology services.
Francie Croft works as a respiratory care department manager on the Salem campus and has been involved in every one of the hospital’s North Shore Cancer WALKs.
“This started off as something that was hospital based,” Croft said. “Now, it is a major community force. It is astounding how many people show up to this walk every year. They are walking for different loved ones or family members that have been going through treatment or died from cancer.”

When the RMS Titanic sank on the evening of April 14, 1912, the world focused on the inconceivable sinking of a ship believed to be unsinkable. Over time, we would come to know the compelling stories of her passengers. We learned the hopes and dreams, heartbreak and heroism of the various social classes who set sail on this historic journey — some to enjoy the luxury of the finest ship at sea, others sailing to a new life in America — all blissfully unaware of the fate that awaited them.
