Why We Walk

Every mile has a reason

Together, we can turn nine days of walking into thousands of steps toward awareness, prevention, education and recovery.

Why We Walk

Walk in honor or memory

Dedicate your walk to someone lost to fentanyl poisoning or substance use, someone in recovery, or anyone whose life has been touched by the drug crisis.

Raise awareness

Every conversation, sign and shared photo helps more people understand fentanyl and substance use disorder.

Share your journey

Take photos, make signs honoring your loved one, and share your miles, memories and messages of hope on our Facebook Event Page and social media.

No required distance

Walk one mile or many, all at once or throughout the week. Your participation matters, whatever the distance.

Start thinking about who you will be walking for, then invite your friends and family to join you.
