Walking to Battle Mental Illness

The 14th Annual NAMI Walks Georgia 5K is set for Saturday, Sept. 26, at Grant Park.

Check-in for the fundraising and awareness event will begin at 9 am and step-off is at 10 am. In addition to the scenic walk around Grant Park, the day will also include a variety of exhibits and entertainment.

Proceeds from the event support the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Georgia’s education programs, helpline and support services for individuals living with mental illness, and their loved ones.

Your participation in this event will help shine light on the positive impact our Georgia communities create by stepping out together, stomping out stigma and walking toward recovery. Volunteers, walkers, and supporters will include law enforcement, community leaders, faith based organizations, business leaders, company employees, young and older citizens from the Greater Atlanta area, including individuals challenged with a mental illness.
