The Community Walks, held in hundreds of cities across the country, are the core of the Out of the Darkness movement, which began in 2004. These events give people the courage to open up about their own connections to the cause, and a platform to create a culture that’s smarter about mental health. Friends, family members, neighbors and coworkers walk side-by-side, supporting each other and in memory of those we’ve lost.
The Central Iowa Walk will take place on September 17th with festivities beginning at 11:00 AM and the walk occurring at 1:00 PM. It will be held at DMACC in Ankeny.
