West Chester Walking 'Mile of Silence' for Boston Victims

In memory of those who lost their lives in the Boston Marathon tragedy, West Chester University students and staff have organized a “Mile of Silence” walk, Phillymag.com is reporting.

The walk, according to the organizer’s Facebook page, will be held on Tuesday, April 23 and is open to anyone. At 7:30 p.m., the group will meet in front of Wayne Hall on Rosendale Avenue and walk a mile loop around the university’s north campus, ending in front of the student union building. A candlelight vigil will be held at this point.

Additionally, “Mile of Silence” T-shirts will be on sale for $10. Donations will also be accepted. Proceeds from the sale of the shirts will go to The One Fund, a foundation created by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Tom Menino in the aftermath of the bombing.
