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. I walk to support NAMI Connecticut in all the work that they do to assist people in recovery and the families and friends that care about their loved ones. This organization helped my family tremendously when one of us was battling bipolar disorder, and we didn't know what to do or how to help. The support and educational help we received was life-changing, and my family owes them a debt we can never repay. That is why I walk, and why I support the organization every year at this time.

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.

NAMI Connecticut thanks you for the extra effort you are dedicating to helping those affected by mental illness.
