We will walk the Merchantville bike path starting behind Eclipse Brewery around Wellwood Park and finishing up back at Eclipse for a social gathering. These walks bring awareness to the suicide epidemic that is taking too many lives of our Veterans - on average 22 a day. The walk is free however we accept donations and will be selling event shirts to benefit Americas Vetdogs. You will help another Veteran find his or her way with the assistance of a life saving service animal. The event is proudly hosted by Merchantville American Legion Post 68 and Team RWB Philadelphia.
