Welcome to our 1st Virtual NAMIWalks…
NAMIWalks is going to be a little different this year. We’re not canceling it – we wouldn’t think of it when our collective mental health needs are at their greatest. On May 30, NAMIWalks will be a virtual experience and joined by NAMIWalks across the country. NAMIWalks Your Way means what it sounds like: participants get to make NAMIWalks their own. You can walk a 5K—through your neighborhood, around your backyard, on your treadmill. Or you can do something else meaningful and fun to celebrate our virtual walk day.
In these trying times, we offer our first challenge to you:
The first 4 teams to recruit 4 new team members and raise $25 each will get PIZZA CAT delivered to the family of their choices.
What a great way to thank a medical professional you know or help out a family struggling during this difficult season.
Raise $50 and get one of our limited edition shirts: #GET LOUD about Mental Health.
