Celebration of Hope and Resilience – 2024 Pittsburgh Recovery Walk

Mark your calendars for a powerful event that brings together individuals, families, and communities in a celebration of hope, healing, and recovery. The 2024 Pittsburgh Recovery Walk is set to take place on September 7th at 1201 Waterfront Place, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, and promises to be a day filled with inspiration, support, and fun.

Why the Pittsburgh Recovery Walk Matters

The Pittsburgh Recovery Walk is more than just a walk—it’s a movement. It’s an opportunity for people in recovery, their loved ones, and allies to come together, share stories, and celebrate the journey of recovery. This event raises awareness about substance use disorders and the reality that recovery is possible for everyone. It also provides a platform to break down the stigma often associated with addiction, showing that recovery is a community-wide effort.n You can find the route to be taken at the Pittsburgh Recovery Walk website
