October 30, 2018 (Boston, MA) – Office workers in downtown Boston are hitting the road, banding together to fight the opioid addiction crisis. Helge Capital is proud to team with WeWork and Shatterproof, launching the inaugural walk to end addiction on Friday November 2nd – a Helge Cares project.

This 1.5 mile trek across the city will feature stops at four WeWork locations in downtown Boston, beginning at 200 Portland Street and ending at 501 Boylston Street.
