NO ONE WALKS ALONE

A Poem of HOPE

On the streets of DC, we rise and we stand, For healing, for hope, for a future so grand. In 2025, we’ll gather as one, A walk of recovery, the journey’s begun.

With each step we take, we’re stronger, we find, The courage to heal, to leave pain behind. Through struggles and triumphs, we stand side by side, United in purpose, with nothing to hide.

DC Walk 4 ReCovery, our voices unite, We walk for the lost, for the ones still in fight. Every stride is a testament, every mile a vow, That together we’ll rise, here and now.

But this walk isn’t just for recovery alone, For those with co-occurring disorders, we’ve grown. Mental health and substance use, side by side, Together, we rise, there’s no need to hide.

For those facing both, the path’s harder still, But with hope in our hearts, we climb every hill. We walk for those in pain, for those seeking light, For those who fight silently, day and night.

So come join us in 2025, hand in hand, In DC’s heart, let our spirits expand. For recovery, for strength, for a future we claim— DC Walk 4 ReCovery, together we’ll aim.

Together, we rise for every step of healing.
