If you raise $150 for the walk by October 19 you will receive a free t-shirt, plus they have honor beads necklaces that are all different colors, each representing why you are doing the walk. A persons mental health is finally at the forefront of peoples minds and society is slowly learning that people need to be able to feel comfortable to talk about how they feel and erase the stigma with asking for help. That is how walks like this are so important, to bring this issue out in the open. For more information about the walk or to register click here!
