Article I was in for a Special Day

[yonkyu]

Larry Earley, 68, of Methuen, and his daughter Erin Earley, 30, set a brisk pace as they walked around the track.

“To help the poor so they can survive,” Larry Earley said when asked why he was doing the walk.

Erin teaches toddlers at the Head Start program in Haverhill. She said she wanted to help people who are “less fortunate that I am.”

Noting that the children she teachers are from lower-income families, she said she hopes efforts like the Walk for the Poor will “help them in their future.”


I am really honored to have been interviewed and have it be put in the local newspaper. I really enjoy helping out others. So if anyone needs help or support, PM me and let me know.

It´s great that you and your dad took part in that walk. How did it actually work? Did people donate for everone participating? How long was the walk? And since walking is very healthy, you did not only help people who are less fortunate than we are, but did something for you, too :)

At my church, The Friends of the Poor Walk was a fundraiser for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. People donated money to support me for participating in the walk. The money that is raised gets distributed to families in need. The recommended distance to walk was one mile. I walked a mile and a half. It was very moving and I can't wait for next year!!
