Hampton resident Linda Desjardins, who is also a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombings, wrote a poignant commentary where she strongly disagrees with a recent discussion held by the Hampton Board of Selectmen on whether the town should continue to hold bicycle races on Hampton Beach.
Despite the tragic accident that occurred there in September that claimed the lives of two bicyclists, Desjardins said the town should continue to foster these types of sporting events because they are good for the community.
