33 Forever Inc. hosting 4th annual mental health birthday walk on Saturday
Mansfield mental-health nonprofit 33 Forever will host the fourth annual 33 Forever Mental Health Birthday Walk in downtown Mansfield on Saturday.
This awareness walk and fundraiser will start and finish at Mansfield’s Richland Carrousel Park with a 3.3 km (2 mile) route around the downtown area. The walk will begin at 11:33 a.m. with check-in for walkers starting at 10:33 a.m.
“The inspiration behind 33 Forever, Dani Leedy, was born in May, and May is, of course, Mental Health Awareness Month, so we are excited to bring this fun annual mental health awareness event to the Mansfield area again this month,” said Donna Heck, 33 Forever President. “This is always a fun family event that will allow folks the chance to get out and enjoy the outdoors together and do something for a good cause.”
Individuals, families and groups are encouraged to register and walk together. Entertainment options at the end of the walk in the Carrousel area will include free carrousel rides for walkers and their families, balloons, a reptile interaction experience, music, food and drink options as well as information booths from local and regional mental health organizations.
Walkers should register in advance at www.33forever.life to ensure getting event T-shirts, but registration will be available the day of the event, as well. Registration for individual walkers is $33 and family units are $66. See the 33 Forever website for more details.
33 Forever was founded by the family and friends of Danielle Leedy, a vibrant, strong, professional young woman who lost a long battle to chronic depression in February 2019. It was created to honor Dani’s life and her longtime passion to raise awareness, empower and comfort those struggling with depression, anxiety, self-worth issues and suicidal thoughts.
