NAMI Louisville Stepping Up for Mental Health Walk

On September 13th, 2025, at Waterfront Park, we’re coming together—not just as individuals, but as a united front—in solidarity with those living with mental illness in our community. Our goal is ambitious yet deeply meaningful: $100,000 raised and 1,000 people walking side-by-side, each step declaring that stigma has no place in our community, in our homes, or in our hearts.

We walk to say to every person feeling alone, unheard, or misunderstood: You are seen. You are heard. There is hope. There is help. When we show up together, we prove that mental health matters, and that no one should suffer in silence.

This is more than a walk—it’s a movement, and you’re a vital part of it. Together with NAMI Louisville, we are working to bridge the gap between isolation and connection, between stigma and acceptance. Every step we take and every dollar we raise powers essential education, support, and advocacy programs that strengthen the Louisville community.

We dream of filling Harbor Lawn with people whose presence alone says: “You are not alone.”
