Dozens of people came out to Martin Luther King Park to help support the fight against drugs, Saturday.
Sixth ward Lima City Councilman, Derry Glenn, hosted this third annual heroin walk. Throughout the morning people walked several laps around the park's lake. And spoke with Glenn spoke about the impact heroin has had in Allen County and what they feel can be done to stop it.
Glenn says this walk is important because it provides an opportunity for people to unite and come up with a solution to help end the opioid epidemic.
“A lot of people excited about it. They had the opportunity to talk about some of the things that they went through with heroin,” said Glenn. “That’s one of the opioids that’s destroying our whole country right now. So we’re going to continue to fight this.”
Glenn is currently working on a youth camp this summer to educate kids about drugs.
