Today marks the first day of the annual “26 Days of Kindness” campaign.
According to the Danbury News-Times, 25-year-old Newtown High graduate Ashley Petersen started the campaign last year as a way of memorializing those lost in the shootings. Participants are asked to do one kind act a day in the memory of the victims. The days of honor are as follows:
