FRANKLIN, NH – Plans for a great morning in Franklin are under way! All are welcome to attend the 2nd Annual LRGHealthcare Bridge to Recovery Walk on Sunday, June 3 at Franklin Regional Hospital.

The morning’s festivities will include live music by Paul Warnick, face painting and other fun activities, and an opportunity to write messages in honor or memory of a loved one.
