The New Lenox Harry E Anderson VFW Post 9545 is hosting their 4^th Annual 20-mile Warriors Walk. The walk starts at 9am in the New Lenox Commons, we head east on Old Plank Trail, and turn around just past Pfeiffer Rd. This is a Ruck March. We encourage you, but not necessary, to strap on your backpacks and come support your military families in need. Don’t let 20-miles discourage you, it’s not necessary to walk all 20-miles, we will provide pick-up locations along the way to bring you back to the New Lenox Commons. Starting at 1:00pm, join us for an afternoon of celebrations with you and your family in the New Lenox Commons. There will be FREE live entertainment by David Allen Stone and Kendal Colette, military vehicle rides and other activities. Food vendors and alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase.

This walk raises money for the Headstrong Project which is a non-profit mental health organization providing confidential, barrier-free, and stigma-free PTSD treatment to our veterans, service members, and family connected to their care. Headstrong Project goal is to help their clients “Triumph Over Trauma.” by providing them with effective mental health treatment.
