BANGOR, Maine -- 05/06/2017 - Ginny MacMillan (right) embraces Anne Pelkey during the inaugural Steps for Souls: Suicide Awareness Walk at Bangor High School Saturday. MacMillan and Pelkey both lost their sons, Collin and Bryce, to suicide. The walk was sponsored in part by Bangor High School Student Council as well as many other local businesses. The event appears to be the first time students, rather than teachers and administrators, have organized a community event aimed at educating people about suicide prevention. Ashley L. Conti | BDN
