Walking for the cause

Walkers in the Red Ribbon Walk make their way down N.M. Highway 371 on Wednesday afternoon. The annual walk saw about two dozen people make the journey form the Thoreau Chapter House to the Conoco gas station on N.M. 371 as another group came from Becenti to the same location. The walk continues today and will finish at the Smith Lake Chapter House. The Walk is to raise awareness of the problem of drug and alcohol abuse on the Navajo reservation. — © 2008 Gallup Independent / Brian Leddy
