Walk For Wellness
By Mel Fabrikant Thursday, August 12, 2010, 12:53 PM EDT
On Sunday, October 10th, 2010 we will hold our third annual "Walk for Wellness", a non-competitive 5K (3.1 miles) walk in Johnson Park in Piscataway NJ. We are walking to raise awareness about the stigma associated with mental illness, publicize the hope of recovery, and promote the importance of mental health for everyone in the community. All funds raised will be used to continue and enhance the advocacy, community education, training. and wellness and recovery services provided by MHANJ. Perhaps you are familiar with some of our services like the NJ MentalHealthCares HelpLine, the Peer Recovery WarmLine, Consumer Connections, the Mental Health Players and others. For information about all our services, visit the MHANJ website.
As part of the walk, we are inviting other organizations and businesses to set up tables in our Information Alley. Registration for the walk opens at 8:30 am and the walk begins at 10:00 am. After the walk, there will be a live music concert. This means there will be plenty of time for walkers to explore the materials at your table. And while the walk is in Middlesex County, walkers will be coming from all over New Jersey. We are expecting a crowd of over 400. It will be a lively morning with free food, live music, walk tee shirts, and a free raffle for all registered walkers.
We are pleased to offer this opportunity to you. There is no fee for a table. Instead, the space is free of charge when your organization registers a team of at least 5 walkers. We encourage you to walk as a team under your own banner, representing your organization. Walk with your colleagues, your clients, your family, your friends and supporters. It is a great opportunity to let the community know that you understand and support the importance of wellness, give them the opportunity to learn about your services, and to help the Mental Health Association in New Jersey to continue its important work of promoting good mental health!
Details about the walk are offered below. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact Bob Martin, Director of Development by e-mail or at (973) 571-4100 ext.128. We hope you can join us for the "Walk for Wellness."
