May is Mental Health Awareness Month and we want EVERYONE to get out and WALK on the Weekend of May 1, 2 and 3rd. The Milford Coastline Challenge portion is still on !! Complete the 40 hour Challenge and finish the entire Milford Coastline or you can complete just a portion of the coast you choose. The change to this portion of the event is that now YOU MUST Walk/Run the Coastline in compliance with the Social Distancing Guidelines.
PLEASE, Walk with those you live with, Do Not partner up with a group of people for this walk outside of the ones you are already spending the Shutdown with.
Walk for YOU, Walk for a CAUSE that is important to you, Walk for a friend or relative that is struggling or that battled as hard and long as they could. Walk to Walk. Whatever it is, get out and WALK. Walk your neighborhood, backyard or favorite spot while remembering to Maintain the Recommended Distancing Practices.
Unfortunately, the Fowler Pavillion portion of the event has been canceled. In addition, the lawn signs have become unavailable due to the shutdowns and will not be made for this year's event. However, there will still be Yoga and Meditation on Sunday, May 3rd via Zoom for a 2 hour Window by Traci Weber from WalkAboutYoga!!
This being our 1st year for the event, we hope to see everyone still get out and enjoy our beautiful community, show that we are Resilient, Strong and Standing and Fighting. That we will Overcome this and anything we face. We will #unstigma #mentalhealth and spread awareness. We will not give up !
