‘The Walk’ Website Launches February 15, 2010.
The Walk Update:
We have some very exciting news. After surveying the current mental health landscape and participating in an array of inspiring heartfelt conversations with dedicated sponsors and supporters, Walk For Recovery has determined that our organization's future, and our mission, will be best served focusing our efforts on a singular mental health issue: DEPRESSION.
And in support of our new mission, we are officially changing the name of our organization from the ‘Walk For Recovery’ to boldly, THE WALK.
The Walk to Washington:
Also, we encourage you to join our effort with The Walk to Washington: which is literally a walking pep rally of individuals promoting awareness for depression in 2010.
On this walk, people dedicated to our cause will wind their way 850 miles from St. Louis to Washington D.C., to make sure the voices of 19 million Americans suffering from this crippling disease are heard. Checkout the Walk to Washington site and find out how you can get involved.
Organize a Walk in Your City:
We invite you to start a Walk of your own in your city. Simply send an e-mail to info@thewalk.org for more details.
