Why Walk with NAMI?

It will be an amazing time this Sunday, Oct. 14 at the SouthSide Works beginning at 9 a.m.


With fun balloon art to entertain the kids... 


And the hilarious Pirate Parrot to keep us laughing. 

Teams will show their true colors: Mental Health Matters!

Caricature artists will capture the moment.



And of course there's an invigorating 5K walk along the river trail.

And complimentary refreshments, delicious hot coffee and hot chocolate.

Don't forget the face painting!

Free flu shots provided by UPMC for everyone. 

And lots of love to go around!

Grab a quick chair massage. Learn about Reiki, too!


While the kids get colorful tattoos. 

Featuring Michelle Wright, our lovely Honorary Chair from WTAE-TV.

Yes, it feels great to celebrate recovery.

There will be music and maybe even some dancing!

And definitely jumping for the kids! 


It's truly a celebration!

Empowering.

Inspiring.

And meaningful: all proceeds benefit the mission of NAMI Southwestern Pennsylvania to improve the lives of families and individuals affected by mental illness.

On your mark, get set... WALK!
