NAMIWalks Your Way Montgomery County PA

Join us on June 12, 2021

For the second year in a row, NAMIWalks will be a little different — while making a lot of difference. Along with a virtual option, NAMIWalks Your Way will be hosting an in-person event on Saturday, June 12, 2021 at Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, in compliance with the local health department COVID-19 guidelines. We continue to prove our resilience and make the event our own.

PLEASE NOTE: While we have every hope of being able to hold an in-person event, should the need to pivot to a virtual platform arise due to Covid-19 restrictions, a decision will be made by March 1,2021.

Our collective mental health needs are at their greatest now. One in three U.S. adults reported experiencing depression or anxiety since the pandemic began. NAMI’s programs and advocacy are needed more than ever.

What is NAMIWalks Your Way? 

NAMIWalks Your Way will be an in-person event and/or a virtual experience. 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. The choice is yours on how and where you want to make this spring’s event fit into this spring’s reality.

Creativity Rules: What participants are doing on event day

Many participants will meet at Montgomery County Community College, 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  

All virtual participants will be able to follow the morning's in-person event through FaceBook live! Take photos and videos and share your activity on favorite social media with the link to your walk fundraising page and the hashtag #NotAlone. Together we can make a difference for people affected by mental illness.

The only limit of NAMIWalks Your Way is staying safe, healthy, and inspired. Share your ideas with us!

Remember: United, we insist on Mental Health for All.
