Saturday October 3 filled the Santa Monica Promenade with over 1300 walkers! Thank you to everyone for your support! NAMI Antelope Valley had a great team and it was beautiful weather for a walk by the beach. The really special part for me was when a couple walking by stopped to ask what the walk was about. When I told them we were walking to raise awareness and end stigma while fundraising for NAMI programs, they were so excited and wished us luck. We are spreading the word!
It is not too late to donate! You can still donate to an online walker page or send your checks to: NAMIWalks PO Box 741029 Los Angeles, CA 90004.
A $100 donation is a entry in our two-day stay in the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas courtesy of Archer Travel.
