I am so excited because we have decided to form a team for this year's NAMI Walk! Our team will be called Oksana's Angels. If you are local and you would be interested in walking with us we would love to have you! All walkers will get a team t-shirt. There is no walker registration fee. If you would like to you can donate to our team. We are trying to raise $1000 for NAMI. If you can't walk with us you can still donate if you would like to support us! NAMI has meant so much to us and we are thrilled to be walking for such a great cause.
NAMI is the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the nations' largest grassroots mental health organization. NAMI provides advocacy, education, support, and public awareness so that all individuals and families affected by mental illness can build better lives.
They have many programs including classes for family members of people with mental illness, support groups, classes for law enforcement officers, and more. All of these are free and paid for through NAMI's fundraising efforts.
