Fentanyl Awareness Walk

Hosted by SW4S Angel Moms


๐Ÿฆ‹ Soles Walking 4 Soles Virtual Walk-a-Thon 2026 ๐Ÿฆ‹
October 23โ€“31, 2026

Walk with us. Remember with us. Raise awareness with us.

This October, Soles Walking 4 Soles is bringing our community together in a new way with a 9-day Virtual Walk-a-Thon! Our event will take place October 23 through October 31, intentionally coinciding with Red Ribbon Week, the nationโ€™s oldest and largest drug prevention awareness campaign.

By walking during Red Ribbon Week, we hope to amplify the message of prevention, education, awareness, recovery, and remembrance while honoring the lives and families forever impacted by fentanyl poisoning and substance use.

You can participate from anywhere โ€” your neighborhood, a local park, a walking trail, a treadmill, or even while traveling.

There is no required distance and no required pace. Walk one mile or many miles, all at once or throughout the week. Participate alone, with your family, friends, coworkers, your dog, or gather a whole team.

Walk in honor or memory of someone you love.
Participants are encouraged to dedicate their walk to someone lost to fentanyl poisoning or substance use, someone currently in recovery, or anyone whose life has been impacted by the drug crisis.

Share your journey!
Take photos throughout the week, make signs honoring your loved one, and share your miles, memories, and messages of hope on our Facebook Event Page and social media.

Whether you walk one mile or fifty, your participation matters.

Together, we can turn nine days of walking into thousands of steps toward awareness.

Mission Statement

Soles Walking 4 Souls is dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of illicit fentanyl, honoring those lost, and supporting families through education and outreach.

We walk to remember, educate youth in our schools, fund grassroots efforts through our grant program, and empower students with scholarships after the loss of a parent to fentanyl poisoning.

Together, we take steps toward healing, prevention, and lasting change.


Vilomah

What does vilomah mean? Vilomah is a Sanskrit word that means against a natural order. Itโ€™s used to describe a person whose child has died. Karla Holloway, a James B. Duke professor of English at Duke University, coined the term after suffering the loss of a child and discovering that no word gave meaning to a parent whose child had died.
