Your probably wondering Who Alec is if you didn’t already know him.
Alec White was a son a brother nephew grandchild a friend, a cousin to many including myself.
“He loved skate boarding, downhill skiing, and any situation where he could do flips in the air or walk a slack line. He was creative, full of ideas, and kind – the sort of person who would see a lonely kid on the edge of the basketball court and ask him to join in the game.”
From the outside looking in you would have seen him and thought he was just like any other 16 year old boy. He had good friends & a good family who loved him so very much. You wouldn’t have known that Internally Alec was battling with depression. Unfortunately, on November 3rd 2017 Alec lost his battle with depression. To keep his memory alive Alecs Family and friends work hard to continue to offer support and help promote the importance of mental health awareness.
They created the The Alec J. White Memorial Scholarship Fund, which gives two $1000 scholarships to be awarded annually to graduating Merrimack Valley High School students who wish to pursue a career in mental health, human services, or the trades. They help raise money through NAMI ( National Alliance On Mental Illness) walks.
