NAMIWalks Your Way means putting one foot in front of the other, either actually or virtually. Participants get to use their creativity, with the main rule that we continue to advance towards our goal by leaps and bounds.
Many participants will meet at Monroeville Community Park West, but if unable, they can:
- Walk 7,000+ steps for a 5K their way
- Plan a craft day with their kids
- Hold a virtual bake-off with their team
- Practice self-care with a favorite hobby: yoga, gardening, knitting
- Do a 5K on the treadmill or stationary bike
- Create a safe and socially distanced stroll in their neighborhood
The only limit of NAMIWalks Your Way is staying safe, healthy, and inspired. Share your ideas with us!
No matter where you participate, be sure to post pictures or video on social media. Together we can make a difference for people affected by mental illness.
