Event Details

*NEW* Virtual "Walk for BPD" Event

Sunday, May 31, 2020

Due to COVID-19, we are unable to hold our 3rd Annual Walk for BPD in New York City.  Your safety is our priority.

But we will continue to inspire action for increased BPD resources, advocacy, and peer support through a new virtual fundraising experience: The Virtual Walk for BPD!

Choose how to Walk for BPD, Safely, Your Way. While social distancing, whether it is walking around the block with your dog or family, on a treadmill, or simply inside your home, walk for BPD.  Everyone impacted by BPD can take part in this awareness day, wherever you live, your way.

Tune in to our Special Virtual Walk Speakers: On May 31, 2020 at 11:00  a.m. EST, we will hold a live Facebook Event, posting our pre-recorded videos from our walk speakers. Walk your own way after the speakers!

Social Sharing:  Take pictures of your "Why I am Walking..." sign or a selfie of you walking in your neighborhood.  Share it on Facebook Live with others around the world!

Registration Incentives:  Anyone can walk for BPD, and participate in our social media campaign, but those who register as "Virtual Walkers" by donating a minimum of $20, will receive walk promotional gifts by mail.  Because of COVID-19, shipments may be delayed.

Thank you for your support!  Keep an eye out on details to connect Virtually and for programming related to the Virtual Walk for BPD as the date gets closer!

Why Walk for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)?

BPD is a serious mental illness, affecting up to 6% of the population, characterized by emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, depression and suicidality.  It continues to be among the most stigmatized mental illnesses, yet it often goes unrecognized or is misunderstood.

It’s Emotions Matter's mission to change that.  Funds raised from the walk supports Emotions Matter's BPD programs, educational initiatives, and advocacy. 

You can be a part of it!
