Free Pre-Race Foot and Shoe Screenings

Get ready for the SpeakUp 5K at our FREE Foot & Shoe Screening! Here’s a rare opportunity to meet with a podiatrist, physical therapist, and shoe specialist — all for FREE. No appointment needed, just stop by our clinic between 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. on Tues., Aug. 21 or Thurs., Aug. 23, 2018. Our clinic is at Johnston-Willis Hospital, in Medical Building II with plenty of parking near our entrance. 

What is the SpeakUp 5K? This annual race helps the Cameron K. Gallagher Foundation in their work to raise awareness and end the stigma of teen mental illness. More than 2.8 million teens suffer from mental illness, which is one out of every five teens. And while 80 percent can be successfully treated, less than 33 percent get help. This year's SpeakUp 5K will be held Saturday, Sept. 8 at 9 a.m. in Byrd Park. Whether you walk, jog or run, the CKG Foundation would like you to join them in the fight to end the stigma of teen mental illness. You can register for the race on the SpeakUp 5K Sign-up pageWe hope you'll join us at the race on Sept. 8, and stop by our clinic on Aug. 21 or Aug. 23 to get your free pre-race foot screening, and have your running or walking shoes examined.
