Join St. Luke's Penn Foundation 9 am Saturday, Sept. 19 for its 5th annual Recovery is for Everyone Walk in celebration of National Recovery Month. Recovery Month is a national observance dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of mental health and substance use disorders while celebrating the strength and resilience of those in recovery. It also serves to reduce the stigma and misconceptions surrounding these conditions, helping to encourage individuals and families to seek the support they need. The 1.7-mile walk will begin and end at the Hope Festival 26 site, located at 741 N. County Line Road in Souderton. The event is also recognized as an approved Get Your Tail on the Trail activity. "Each year, the Recovery is for Everyone Walk brings together individuals, families, advocates and community partners to celebrate hope and healing," says Amy Maurizio, Director of Operations for Substance Use Disorder/Recovery, St. Luke’s Penn Foundation. "Recovery is possible for everyone, and this event serves as a powerful reminder that no one has to face mental health or substance use challenges alone. By walking together, we help raise awareness, reduce stigma, and show our support for those on their recovery journey." Following the walk, participants are invited to enjoy free food, music, children's activities, giveaways and more at Hope Festival 26, sponsored by Sweatshirt of Hope. There is no cost to participate in the walk; however, registration is required. The first 100 individuals to register will receive a special swag bag, available for pickup at the event check-in table on September 19.
