Carrier Clinic will host its annual Walk of Hope and Awareness on Saturday, September 15, in support of the many programs at its Belle Mead campus to battle mental illness and drug addiction. The public is invited to take part.

“Carrier’s Walk of Hope and Awareness has been responsible for raising tens of thousands of dollars to fund key therapies that assist at-risk patients from New Jersey and beyond,” said Don Parker, president and CEO of Carrier Clinic. “And our mission has never been more important than it is today, given the increasing suicide rates around our nation and the scourge of opioid drugs that are tearing apart families. Please walk to aid Carrier in this important cause.”

Register by visiting ClinicWalkofHope.org. or call (908) 281-1688 for details. Sign-in for walkers opens at 9 a.m. The 1-mile walk around the Carrier campus begins at 10 a.m.

Walkers are invited to bring their dogs, so long as those pets are on a leash and are vaccinated. Individual participants are urged to aim high and raise more than $108 (one dollar for every year of Carrier’s existence). Walkers can also form teams, inviting others to join.
