First Responders Walk for Mental Health | Wilmington News
Description
Law enforcement officers are hitting the trails for “Survive the 55,” a 55-mile trek across Topsail Island to raise awareness about suicide prevention and mental health struggles among first responders. Wearing badges doesn’t protect them from stress or trauma — and this walk is their way of saying, “We need support too.” Over three days, they’ll cover 22 miles Friday and Saturday, then 11 on Sunday, all to fund NC LEAP, which provides critical wellness resources for those who serve and protect. Every step is a message of hope — and a call to prioritize mental health in high-stakes careers.
