My team, Patrick's People is in honor of my son, Patrick.  He has struggled with mental illness for many years. NAMI has been a lifesaver during this journey.  The programs provided have been invaluable (education, support groups, resources).  I have met so many friends who are going through the same issues.  I am so thankful for all NAMI does. 

The Walk is an important way to help fight the stigma of mental illness, and demonstrate our support to the community.  This is the biggest fundraiser of the year and over  90% of the funds raised by the Walk go to support the signature programs are provided at no charge to participants.

This year we are doing things a bit differently.  Instead of gathering in Hartford and walking with a large crowd, we are doing a virtual walk.  We will be walking where we live; at home, in our neighborhoods and social distancing.  This pandemic is causing many to become anxious, depressed, sad or scared.  This is a difficult time for all and makes it even more important to erase the stigma of mental illness and raise awareness.

Be a part of the Walk donating or joining my Team, creating your own Team or by making a donation TODAY!

Thank you so much for helping those affected by mental illness. I really appreciate it!

Stay safe.
