Walk from Yonkers to Albany to Create Awareness for Mental Health Issues

IT ISN’T LOCAL UNLESS IT’S YONKERS VOICE!!!
Date: 08/04/17
Time: 9:15am
Where: Getty Square – Yonkers

” THE JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP ”

Mr Hector Santiago the creator of Stop and Shake decided to WALK from Yonkers to Albany with one thing in mind: CREATE AWARENESS for Mental Health issues/prevention and treatment.
He hopes that once he reaches Albany that he will be able to speak/meet with Gov Cuomo and explain how important it is for our County/City to get funds to deal with this terrible problem. We certainly hope that Gov Cuomo listen and gives us the funds we desperately need BUT lets make it clear that this is not a problem exclusive to Yonkers, this is affecting the entire State and Country.
Please be part of this. Call the Gov’s Office and ask that he makes the funds available for prevention and treatment.
ANYONE can be affected by this!!!
Please support our friend Hector on this Journey and Noble Cause.
