Reinvigorating Our NAMIWalks Spirit


We at NAMIWalks are excited that we are feeling the crisp chill of fall weather and it is helping to reinvigorate our NAMIWalks spirit!

Remember that feeling you got the morning of your walk? That feeling that you are a part of something larger than yourself… that you are helping to stomp out the stigma of mental illness and that you are raising much needed funds for your local community? The feeling that you are not alone, but instead you are a part of a larger nation-wide movement helping to “change minds… one step at a time”? Think on that feeling and remember that you are still a part of this NAMI movement whether or not your walk day has passed. Even if your walk day has passed- WE STILL NEED YOU. 

Please send out one more email to your friends and family asking for a donation-walker pages are open to donations for 60 days after your walk. We want to raise awareness for mental illness not just the day of your walk, but have a presence in every community, around the country, year-round. The more awareness 
we raise, the more stigma we stomp.


Please help us keep the NAMIWalks Spirit going!
