7th Annual New England Walk4Hearing with Special Guest American Idol Finalist Angie Miller

The 7th annual New England Walk4Hearing takes place Sunday, October 27, 2013 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at Artesani Park in Brighton.  Hundreds of New Englanders will gather to help raise awareness for hearing loss and how it can affect people of all ages.

American Idol finalist Angie Miller – who also suffers from partial hearing loss – will sing the national anthem before the walk begins.  WJMN-FM 94.5 morning show co-host Santi DeOleo will emcee the event and help kick things off as well.  There will be family-friendly entertainment and complimentary snacks and beverages for everyone in attendance.

The New England Walk4Hearing works in conjunction with the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA), the nation’s largest consumer advocacy organization for people with hearing loss and is dedicated to providing information, education and support to enable those with hearing loss to live full and productive lives. The New England Walk4Hearing is one of twenty-two 5K walks happening across the country and is the nation’s largest and fastest growing hearing loss fundraising and public awareness walk in the country.
