mental illness is a topic no one wants to discuss.
Each year, I commit my personal time to solicit food for our participants as well as fundraise to bring awareness to an illness that affect at least 1 in every 5 Americans. The Walk for Mental Awareness was initiated by a dear friend battling his own mental illness. In the past 5 years, we have raised over $100k to gift to local charities here in Houston. The time of year is here and I must ask you to please consider donating to help me reach my goal for 2016. This Walk for Mental Awareness is important to me because my sister and many close to my heart live daily while adjusting their behavior, thinking, mood, perception and social withdrawal to survive. PLEASE donate and help me reach my goal this year.
If you are in position to donate sample portions of breakfast or healthy snacks, please email me directly and I could schedule a pick up from you. We are expecting about 400 walkers; any amount of food will be greatly appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed.
