PTSD Awareness Virtual Run/Walk

June is PTSD Awareness Month. Help us bring awareness and raise funds for charities that provide mental health services, by participating in our virtual run/walk that you can do from anywhere! 

This race benefits the following PTSD based non-profits:

• Healing TREE (Trauma Resources, Education & Entertainment) advocates healing from abuse and trauma rather than coping with the symptoms, in order to transform lives and, ultimately, society. We achieve this by providing trauma-focused resources and education and by producing and partnering with relevant film, television, and theatre, empowering the social change necessary to create a healing movement.
  
  
• Headstrong provides at no expense, confidential and stigma-free mental health treatment for military members, veterans, and their families regardless of service era or discharge.
