UPDATED: NAMI Mental Health Awareness 5K Walk

The annual NAMI Mental Health Awareness 5K Walk is scheduled for Saturday, June 8th, 9 - Noon along Kirkland's downtown waterfront. It starts at the Marina Park. Those wishing to register and/or donate should arrive around 8:00AM, or click this link.  Anyone giving $100 will receive a t-shirt! All donations will go to the NAMI Eastside affiliate.The Walk is a happy and  family-friendly event and a great way to bust stigma. Dogs on leash are allowed.

Since one in five Americans have a mental condition in a given year this clinic will be put to excellent use in our community. 

Our "EvergreenHealth Super Team" will be walking in appreciation of their initiative.  If you'd like to walk with Evergreen, look for our banner or signs to meet-up.  We will be one of the happiest, out-going teams on the Walk!

A Big Tent is in the NW parking lot. Live music!  Find a number of exhibitors with fun free stuff and snacks.  The long range weather forecast is mostly sunny with a high of 70, so great walking weather.  The walk winds its way down Lake Street / Lake Washington Blvd. to Carillon Point and back. Hope you can make it!
