NAMI Walk


National Alliance on Mental Illness

Today Andy, Mason and Me walked at the NAMI walk- Denver in Cheeseman Park. What an awesome experience. Thousands of people joined together to raise money and support the organization. The total raised just for the Denver walk was aprox. $104,000. All I can say is WOW!!!! I love people joining together to support such a great cause. And one that has lots of meaning to me and my family. My heart was touched by the many groups of people that came. How much money was raised. And mostly, the outcome that comes from these walks. The National Alliance on Mental Illness provides so many services to people that are suffering from a mental illness and all of the services they offer are free due to peoples donations. Truly amazing. My wish is that people struggling with this can reach out to this organization for help. To inform yourself more on this organization or to donate please visit http://www.nami.org/
