Sunday’s walk event was just under a mile and also served a fundraiser. Event organizers said they received a lot of positive feedback at their first walk.
“Everybody said it was a really good first walk. They were very happy we had an upbeat walk. They walked just under a mile,” said the executive director of NAMI Wichita, Tara Gwynn. “They had a lot of energy coming and going. They were grateful to learn about not just NAMI Wichita, but their local resources that can help with mental health.”
