It's okay to not be okay. It's okay to ask for help. It's important that we let people know that. It's important to listen and be a friend to someone who needs it. 

We all participate in the Walk for different reasons; some may walk to celebrate their own recovery. Some walkers are supporting family members or friends who live with a mental illness. Some may walk in memory of a loved one. The Walk is an important way to help fight the stigma of mental illness, and demonstrate our support to the community.

The other side of the Walk is the money we raise. Over 90% of the funds raised by the Walk go to support the signature programs that we provide at no charge to participants.

Thank you for supporting me, and this great cause.
