🚶♀️ National Walking Day is a reminder that even a simple step can make a big difference—for our physical health, mental well-being, and our communities.
This spring, you can take those steps with purpose at the Out of the Darkness Walks, supporting su***de prevention and mental health awareness through the American Foundation for Su***de Prevention. These events bring students, staff, and community members together to share hope, honor loved ones and raise funds for lifesaving programs.
📍 Upcoming walks:
• Oregon State University Out of the Darkness Campus Walk – Saturday, April 18 at 10 AM. Start at OSU’s Student Experience Center Plaza in Corvallis
• University of Oregon Out of the Darkness Campus Walk – Saturday, May 2 at 10 AM. Start at the EMU Green in Eugene
• NAMI Walk – Saturday, May 16 at 11 AM at Peninsula Park in Portland
• More walks in September and October!
Every step helps spark conversations, reduce stigma, and remind people they’re not alone. 💜
👟 This National Walking Day, consider signing up and joining our team, or supporting a walker at one of these events.
