Never Walk Alone

Never Walk Alone is a 5k that comes from the teenagers from the boys and girls club. The teens wanted to start a 5k to raise awareness about mental health. They realized that so many people struggle in their community, so they decided to do something about it. This 5k is a reminder how important every person is in the world. While also highlighting the importance of togetherness as a city. The money raised through this event will support the organization Erika's Lighthouse which the teens chose. Erika's lighthouse provides mental health services to Wayne County and across the country.
