    This past weekend, Team NOVA hit the trails at the 10th Annual NAMI Bucks County Stride 5K Walk for Mental Health Awareness at Warminster Park! This year’s theme, “Unmasking Mental Health,” reminded us that behind every mask, there’s a powerful story waiting to be heard. A huge shoutout to our amazing participants: Victim Advocate Coordinator Stephanie Shantz, Victim Advocates Sandy Carvin and Karen Matthews, and CAC Coordinator Alison Rose, for representing Team NOVA! 💪🚶♀️ Big thanks to NAMI Bucks County PA for hosting such a meaningful event and helping to raise awareness for mental health in our community. 🧡

Thank you for being part of such an impactful day! Have you registered to vote yet? It's fast and simple, and the deadline is approaching on October 21st!
