Brittney Johnson, an Emmy award-winning 10 p.m. NBC 5 News Anchor and this year’s honorary chair of NAMIWalks North Texas, is excited to serve as the walk chair on Saturday, May 18, at 9:00 a.m., at Riders Field in Frisco. With her dedication to journalism and community service, Johnson brings a powerful voice and commitment to raising awareness about mental health issues in the North Texas region.
NAMIWalks North Texas is a family-friendly event that 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. Participation in the walk is free, with participants encouraged to collect donations to support mental health advocacy. Walkers who raise $100 or more will receive a NAMIWalks North Texas event t-shirt and other recognition gifts. The walk has no set distance because it’s not the number of steps you walk but the importance of each step taken toward “Mental Health for All!”
