About
Step into action with us at the Overdose Awareness 5K Run/Walk, a heartfelt gathering spearheaded by the Lake County Opioid Initiative alongside our dedicated community partners. This isn't just a race; it's a powerful movement to honor cherished memories, cheer on those who strive for recovery, and shine a spotlight on the opioid crisis that touches too many lives.
Together in this family-friendly event, we'll share a space infused with reflection, hope, and the strength of unity. By joining, you're playing a vital role in paying tribute to the untold stories lost to overdose and wrapping our collective arms around those affected. You're also a beacon for change, helping to break down the barriers of stigma and promoting informed conversation about substance use disorder. Let's lace up, hit the pavement, and make every step count towards a future filled with understanding and support.
