1st Annual ADHD Awareness Walk

This event promotes access to resources, fosters visibility and representation, and creates a strong support network for individuals of all ages.

By raising awareness, we can help reduce serious risks associated with untreated ADHD—such as increased rates of suicide, obesity, violence, and early death.

Because ADHD is often misunderstood and stigmatized, events like this walk play a crucial role in public education. They help dispel myths, amplify real stories, and empower individuals with ADHD to seek the support they need without shame.

What else will be at the Walk:

• Warm up with Zumba Instructor Shay Allen
• Live performance by TBA
• Guest speakers: TBA
• Free light refreshments
• Photobooth
• Sharing personal stories and experiences

Benefits the Walk provides our community:

• ADHD affects people across all ages, yet it remains underdiagnosed and misunderstood.
• Untreated ADHD is linked to increased risks of mental health issues, obesity, incarceration, and even early mortality.
• This walk will connect attendees with healthcare providers, educators, and local resources.
• Funds raised will support awareness initiatives, community programs, and advocacy efforts in underserved areas.
