The NAMI Walk Committee met for the first time last week to plan the annual 5K walk scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 4 at the SouthSide Works & Three Rivers Heritage Trail.

The purpose of the walk is to reduce the stigma of mental illness and to raise awareness that treatment works and recovery is possible. Proceeds benefit NAMI Southwestern Pennsylvania.
