Thank you, Saint Anselm College students! Your resilience and perseverance in this trek is incredible! Congratulations and thank you for your continued support! We are truly inspired by the walkers each year and incredibly grateful for their dedication to our communities. 🙏

Let’s give it up for the AMAZING Road for Hope walkers! 👏👏👏

The resilient crew of 44 Saint A’s students returned to the Hilltop on Saturday after walking 130 miles from Maine over eight days to raise funds for eight nonprofits. They made so many memories along the way that will last a lifetime. 💙

They were welcomed back with joyous applause and streamers from TONS of Saint Anselm community members, family and friends.
