About This Event
Desert View envisions a community where every step contributes to well-being. We aim to support, inspire, and unite individuals from all backgrounds and experiences on their journey toward better mental health.
One in five Americans will experience a mental health condition in any given year. And despite the prevalence of mental illness, significant stigma remains, along with a notable lack of compassions and sometimes resources.
We are dedicated to helping create a stigma-free community where running for mental health today is as accepted and common as running for physical health. Will you and your family join us in our conquest?
