Dear OH Friends,

The NAMI Walk is only 10 days away and our team, WALK BY FAITH, needs your help!

To date, we have raised $210 of our goal to raise $500 by the day of the walk (Saturday, October 2, 2010).  PLEASE take a few moments to review our team web page and consider donating to our efforts.  It doesn’t matter which walker you donate under – it all goes to NAMI.  Follow this link to our web page:
www.nami.org/namiwalks10/DES/morrisfamily  
(Note: NAMI is a 501(c)3 charity and any donation you make is tax deductible.) 

NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, is the largest education, support and advocacy organization that serves the needs of those whose lives are touched by mental illnesses.  This includes persons with mental illness, their families, friends, employers, and the law enforcement community and policy makers.  The NAMI organization is composed of approximately 1100 local affiliates, 50 state offices, and a national office.


The goals of the NAMIWalks program are (1) to fight the stigma that surrounds mental illness, (2) to build awareness of the fact that the mental health system in this country needs to be improved, and (3) to raise funds for NAMI so that they can continue their mission.


My family is very grateful for the support that NAMI has provided to us over the past two years.  NAMI has been instrumental in our gaining a better understanding about our son, Cody’s, illness and has provided us ideas and strategies aimed at supporting him on a daily basis.


Thank you for your time and support!
