Walking Together for Hope: Supporting Mental Health Research and Awareness

At HMD, we’re proud to be walking in the annual Walk for Hope, supporting the Foundation of Hope. Their mission is to conquer mental illness through groundbreaking scientific research and mental health initiatives—working closely with UNC Chapel Hill’s Department of Psychiatry to better understand root causes, develop treatments, and raise awareness.

Since 1984, Foundation of Hope has awarded over 210 scientific research grants totaling $10.7 million, which have leveraged an additional $272 million from NIH and other agencies. They’ve also supported 47 mental health initiatives in our community with nearly $700,000 in funding directed toward programs that serve individuals and families.

We believe mental health is something that impacts everyone—our team, our families, and the entire community. That’s why we’re walking, because awareness + action = change.

We invite you to join us! Walk with the HMD team, lend your support, or help spread the word. Every step matters.
