I get the opportunity each month through this column to shine a spotlight on instances of leadership being demonstrated "under the radar" within our community. It's within this context that I invite you to read about a really neat example of leadership happening here in our community to positively counter the rising heroin epidemic.

NASHUA - Darlene Pina can't forget the emaciated young woman who came knocking on her car window in Manchester last summer.

The woman claimed her car had run out of gas with her baby inside, and she told Pina she needed money.

Pina saw the haunted face, desperate eyes shrouded in dark circles, and handed over $20.

She then watched the woman, who appeared to be in her early 20s, bypass the gas station across the street. Instead, she grabbed a friend and disappeared from sight.

Disturbed, Pina went into the gas station and told the clerk what happened. The clerk explained there was a heroin and opioid epidemic in the city.

"People are dying all over Manchester," she said.

"That was the tipping point for me," Pina explained in an interview last week.

She decided to organize a walk in Nashua last October.

More than 60 people marched along Concord Street - from Greeley Park to Main Street - carrying placards bearing the names and photos of loved ones who died from heroin. Other signs said, "Honk if you hate heroin."

"People were opening their windows, cheering us on. All the cars were honking in support of us," said Pina, who lives in Nashua and works as an executive assistant at Lexia Learning in Concord, Mass.

Pina will host a second "Awareness is Healing: A Walk to Stop Heroin" in Nashua on March 19.

What a difference five months makes.

"This has grown beyond anything I would have imagined," said Pina, who also is a part-time hot power yoga instructor.

She hoped to get another 60 or so people for this latest walk. She posted the event on Facebook about two weeks ago and more than 400 have said they will walk, while another 748 signed on as a maybe.

"We created a big movement of power in the community," Pina wrote on the event's Facebook page.

"People are tired of sitting on the sidelines and reading about it and seeing it on the news. People want to take action," she said.

"They're watching their family members die. Their friends, their neighbors, their parents, their aunts, uncles, brothers - they're dropping like flies," she added.

Everyone is invited to participate in the walk, which begins at 11 a.m. in Greeley Park and continues along Concord Street to Main Street. The walk ends at noon.

Pina's hope is for every community in the state to hold a walk against heroin.

"Every town in New Hampshire should have a walk like this. That should make a big difference in how young adults are accessing these drugs," Pina said.

She also hopes those who have lost loved ones to heroin and other opioids join the walk and find in it a place to heal and bond with others who have suffered similar losses. Those struggling with addiction are invited as well.

"We walk together to heal and to show the public we are not playing around anymore," Pina said.
