Approximately 70 people came out to downtown Williamsburg Saturday morning to participate in the Bethany’s Hope Suicide Awareness Walk. The walk is held annually to honor 16-year-old Whitley County High School student Bethany Faith Lawson, who took her own life in 2018. Walkers began the one-mile trek at The Green Space on Main and continued down Main Street before turning onto Depot Street and looping around to Cumberland Avenue, Second Street and Main Street back to the park.
