NAMI, the Nation’s Voice on Mental Illness, formerly the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, is the largest education, support and advocacy organization that serves the needs of all those whose lives are touched by these illnesses. This includes persons with mental illness, their families, friends, employers, the law enforcement community and policy makers. The NAMI organization is composed of approximately 1100 local affiliates, 50 state offices and a national office.

The goals of the NAMIWalks program are: to fight the stigma that surrounds mental illness, to build awareness of the fact that the mental health system in this country needs to be improved and to raise funds for NAMI so that they can continue their mission.

NAMIWalks for the Mind of America, NAMI’s signature walkathon event that is being held in Columbia, SC at West Columbia Riverwalk & Amphitheater on April 25,2009. I will be participating in this event and our team is needing help. Donate a dollar, a quarter, a nickel- whatever you can to support this cause!

You can sponsor my team and I by clicking here:

Thank you for helping out this great cause!
