Marina’s Way: a Community Gathers to Celebrate a Wish-Come-True

vermont-admin — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:16:59 +0000

Marina cannot walk or talk, but when outside looking at the nature around her, you can tell how happy she is. So, for her wish, it was only natural to give her a handicapped-accessible walking path in her backyard and a trek-ready stroller so her parents no longer have to carry her during their wooded jaunts. Over 100 people joined Marina’s family in opening “Marina’s Way” and thanks to the Chester community, Marina will be able to enjoy this for years to come!

An amazing number of local businesses leant a hand in helping to create Marina’s Way. We would like to acknowledge their hard work and dedication: Good Wood, Good Earth Landscaping, Bliss Farm, Hill Construction Group, Blue Sky, Cersosimo Industries, M & M Excavating, Inc., Killarney’s & Terrigenous.
