Video highlights of the 2023 EVECE Walk for Life 5K on August 26, 2023 at Piedmont Park, Atlanta, GA.

The community gathered together with smiles, energy and purpose in honor of the late Christopher R. Edwards and Erin V. Edwards, supporting mental health awareness and gun violence prevention.

As the signature event of the EVECE Foundation, the Walk for Life 5K is more than just a race — it is a movement of remembrance, resilience, and hope. This powerful community gathering brings together individuals and families of all ages to honor the lives of those we’ve lost to mental health challenges and to uplift those who are still fighting. It is a day to walk, run, and stand united in support of mental health awareness, prevention, education, and youth development.

​

At the heart of the Walk for Life is our mission: to create a society that values and supports the mental well-being of all individuals. Driven by this purpose, we are committed to transforming the mental health landscape — delivering essential education, resources, and compassionate support to adolescents and adults navigating a world that too often separates them from opportunities for true mental healing.

​

​The Walk for Life 5K is a celebration of that vision — and we invite you to be part of it. Whether you walk in remembrance, in solidarity, or in hope for a brighter future, together we can move toward a more supportive and mentally healthy society.
