Walk for a Wish

Members of the Harborfields community took part in the annual Walk for a Wish fundraiser on Saturday, April 21. The walk is a Harborfields event that benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation. For the fifth consecutive year, participants of the event were invited to raise donations and walk around the track at Harborfields High School.
    
All of the donations collected for the walk will be used to grant the wish of Annette, a young Long Island resident who is suffering with a form of kidney cancer. The collected efforts of all involved will allow Annette and her family to take a Mediterranean cruise, something young Annette has always wanted to do.
