To everyone who attended our 3rd annual Walk For Jenna’s Joy: A Mental Health Awareness Walkathon, we thank you so much! We couldn’t have done it without you. 💜 It was amazing to see so many members of our community come together to support our cause.

Before the walk, Dr. Martin Entwistle, Associate Chief Medical Officer and Vice President of Population Health at Marshall Medical Center, shared inspiring remarks with the walkers.

After the walk, we heard powerful stories from members and staff of Clubhouse El Dorado: Tom, Lenaya, Margie, and Mike. They spoke openly about their personal mental health journeys and highlighted how Clubhouse El Dorado serves as a valuable community resource.

We also heard from Kim Hughes, Clinical Director of the Wellness Centers in El Dorado County high schools. She emphasized the critical role these centers play in giving students a safe space to reset and access the help and resources they need.

For those who attended, we’d love your feedback! Please consider taking a short survey about our walkathon: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfaczhJjhHYUF4qfbV7ogIbJeBvsLk40k2Xl015fr8XCbhkXw/viewform?usp=dialog
