About this event


WALK FOR HOPE
(for mental health research)

Sunday, October 11       

 

Trip # AD2609


Every year, the Angus Barn in Raleigh organizes the Walk for Hope to raise funds for mental health research. This is an incredibly inspiring event in which 5,000 or more participants show up on an October morning to run or walk 5k round trip from the Angus Barn through John Umstead State Park in support of people and their families who are living with mental health problems. Festival activities will be take place at the Angus Barn upon returning from the walk.

If you would like to join us in walking, please register for the event at https://register/walkforhope.com/. Yes, there is a donation to be made when you register; but, every dollar goes to support mental health research.  Carefully review their website for comprehensive information on registering, times, and parking.


The Thad and Alice Eure WALK FOR HOPE background: Thad Eure held public office longer than any official in US history. He was the NC Secretary of State 13 times, a total of 52 years. His family had experiences with mental health. In 1975, Thad Eure, Jr. was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. His parents founded the Foundation of Hope in 1984 to understand mental illness and develop effective treatments. When Thad Jr. died in 1988, the employees at Angus Barn, Fat Daddy’s and 42nd St. Oyster Bar wanted to honor his memory and established the first walk in 1989.
