We start our 5K walk at the Winston Family YMCA, walk on the beautiful North bank of the Riverwalk, ramble through RAM the Riverside Arts Festival, to Memorial Park (circle it twice!) and head back! It should be a cinch to follow the sidewalk, and obey traffic laws!, as we walk in beautiful Jacksonville to raise awareness for mental health! See our Route Map here.
There are many resources in NE FL for those navigating mental health challenges. Come check our our Wellness Fair to learn about some of the non-profit and community health providers that contribute to our system of care. By visiting the NAMIWalks Wellness Fair our sponsors and behavioral health organizations could just make a difference in your life.
Oh the Activities we will have! We can't wait for the fun in our Kids Zone with Little Monster's coloring, face painting, worry stones, and chalk art. Food trucks for the inevitable hunger pains. A Tribute Garden for honoring those who are struggling and those who are our champions. Signs of Hope. High School Drum lines, Cheerleaders, Music, and fun! Oh, and Jaxson De'Ville and the Roar Cheerleaders may make an appearance!
Strollers, wheel chairs, wagons, and other safe wheels are welcome, but we can't guarantee against any bumps in the road or sidewalk cracks. Friendly, leashed dogs are welcome to join us! So are kids, but kids DO need to register. You can register them ahead of time or sign a waiver at the walk. Donations - Paypal, cash, or check will be accepted on site on walk day.
