September 23, 2018 my family and I will be doing a run/walk event with NAMI in Evanston, Illinois. You can read all about it
here. This is our second year participating in this event and I'm super excited!! We just had 3 new team members sign up! We loved the upbeat atmosphere and all the goodies they handed out at our run. The point of the run/walk is mainly to raise awareness about mental illness and also to fundraise for all the wonderful things that NAMI does. I set a team goal of $1000 and we are about halfway there. If you are interested in donating, you can donate here.

And, if you are in the Chicago area, I'd love to have you join us!!
Update - we had a total of 12 people on Team #Run4Adam and we raised $2350!! Woot! Even more important, there was a large turnout at the event with lots of love and support for ending the stigma. I even managed to get through the day without crying. My mom and dad were there, along with my daughter and her partner, Gary. Thank you to everyone! I love you all.
Bless you Lorri and your education goals. We hope you are able to help change the world. Keep in Touch. We miss ya.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Darren! That reminds me of one of my favorite quotes. I had this up in my office for many years.“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” ― Mother Teresa. I miss all of you guys, too!
