The Capital Region’s first ADHD Awareness Walk meets a vital need for the more than 246,000 New Yorkers living with ADHD.

This event promotes access to resources, fosters visibility and representation, and creates a strong support network for individuals of all ages. Accessible walk for everyone walking or not (indoors with escalators and elevators available)

By raising awareness, we can help reduce serious risks associated with untreated ADHD—such as increased rates of suicide, obesity, violence, and early death.

Because ADHD is often misunderstood and stigmatized, events like this walk play a crucial role in public education. They help dispel myths, amplify real stories, and empower individuals with ADHD to seek the support they need without shame.

By uniting community energy, expert support, and lived experience, the ADHD Awareness Walk creates a powerful platform for long-term change. It’s not just a walk—it’s a movement toward a more inclusive and informed future.
