Why It Matters

Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, your presence matters. Every step taken sends a message that no one walks alone, and together we are stomping out the stigma around mental health challenges.

“This event lights up the darkness—literally and emotionally,” said Carri Raynor, event organizer. “We’re here to say that hope is real, help is real, and our community is walking this journey together.”
