Brittney Johnson, an Emmy award-winning 10 p.m. NBC 5 News Anchor, is this year’s honorary chair of NAMIWalks North Texas on Saturday, May 18, at 9:00 a.m. at Riders Field in Frisco. As the walk chair, Brittney brings her dedication to journalism and community service to raise awareness about mental health issues in the North Texas region. She has personally witnessed the impact that mental illness can have on individuals, families, and communities and is excited to be a part of this important event.
NAMIWalks North Texas features a resource fair, great activities for kids, free Kona Ice for kids, a “Why I Walk” story station, HoneyLu’s coffee and free parking. This makes it a family-friendly outing for all ages to enjoy. The event is open to everyone and registration is free. Participants are encouraged to collect donations to support mental health advocacy with walkers raising $100 or more receiving a NAMIWalks North Texas event t-shirt and other recognition gifts. The walk has no set distance because it’s not about how many steps you take but how each step contributes towards “Mental Health for All!”
