Erika’s Lighthouse and co-chairs Gayl Monto, Sally Mahmood, Marion Brown and Tori Brown are hosting the 12th Annual Rock & Rally Walkathon set for October 18th from 1-3PM at the New Trier High School Northfield Campus. The two-mile walk is an event to raise awareness of adolescent depression - a disease that impacts nearly 20% of teens before adulthood. Throughout the event, participants will learn facts about this common, serious and treatable illness.
 
Erika’s Lighthouse Teen Panel and Club members representing high schools ranging from Libertyville, New Trier, Glenbrook South, John Hersey, Maine East, North Shore Country Day, Evanston and many more will be in attendance.
 
A $25 rate for students and $30 contribution for adults covers event participation, as well as food, refreshments and the 12th annual T-shirt. Participants can register at the event or online at www.erikaslighthouse.org/Walkathon2015 .
 
The walkathon is a perfect event for people of all ages, families and friends! Join Erika’s Lighthouse in this incredible afternoon to shed light on depression, end stigma and pave a pathway to help and hope. After all, everyone deserves good mental health.
