Overdose Awareness 5K/1-mile Remembrance Walk

Date & Time:

August 31 @ 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM

Attention all warriors of the Lost Voices of Fentanyl group! ? Florida, get ready for something big! Join us in Punta Gorda on August 31 at 7:30 AM at Bayshore Live Oak Park for Florida’s FIRST EVER Overdose Awareness 5K/1-mile Remembrance Walk on International Overdose Awareness Day!
I was at the rally! I heard your cry! “Overdose is not the word, poisoning we will be heard!” My sister was poisoned! But we also need to make people aware! That’s why we’re bringing an “overdose of awareness” to our community!
? After losing my sister to fentanyl poisoning this past November, I was determined to make a change. I reached out for help, but there was no 5K event in the entire state of Florida. So, this is OUR chance to come together, honor our lost loved ones, and raise awareness about overdose prevention in our state. Let’s make history and show the world that Florida cares. Your support can make a difference. Don’t miss this groundbreaking event
We are having tons of raffles, a live DJ and giving out FREE Narcan to all those who cross the finish line!
We also want to align the path with memories of our loved ones who lost the battle to this horrific epidemic. Please go to our website, where you can submit pictures there or send to my email ([email protected]) We would love to honor your loved ones with dignity and respect as we do the memorial walk??- see you there, warriors! ? https://runsignup.com/OADAY5K #LostVoicesOfFentanyl #OverdoseAwareness #FentanylAwareness #EndTheStigma
