Brittney, an Emmy award winning 10 p.m. NBC 5 News Anchor, is this year’s honorary chair of NAMIWalks North Texas. With her dedication to journalism and community service, Johnson brings a powerful voice and commitment to raising awareness about mental health issues in the North Texas region. She is excited and honored to serve as the walk chair and has personally witnessed the impact that mental illness can have on individuals, families, and communities. Brittney personally has tried her best to be there for her loved ones who have battled depression.

NAMIWalks North Texas features a resource fair, great activities for kids, free Kona Ice for kids, a “Why I Walk” story station, HoneyLu’s coffee, and free parking, making it a family-friendly outing for all ages to enjoy.

Registration for NAMIWalks North Texas is FREE, with participants encouraged to collect donations to support mental health advocacy. Walkers raising $100 or more will receive a NAMIWalks North Texas event t-shirt and other recognition gifts. The walk has no set distance because it’s not the number of steps you walk, but the importance of each step taken toward “Mental Health for All!”
