SHELTON - Fight Against Drugs Everywhere (FADE) will hold its second annual overdose awareness walk at 10 a.m. Sept. 24 at the Shelton Pavilion and Riverwalk. 

Registration begins at 8 a.m. followed by a pre-walk presentation at 9 a.m.

The walk is being held to raise awareness of overdoses, and to acknowledge and support the grief felt by families and friends who have lost a loved one.
