One in Five affected by mental illness- Join NAMI Walks for the Minds of America
Mental illness affects many more people than AIDS and breast cancer, but we're still far behind in strength and visibility. The time has come to change that! NAMIWalks is a great opportunity to educate friends, neighbors, EVERYONE in the community about mental illness.
The NAMI walk is this Sunday May 18th at Jones beach.
Besides the walk there will be lots of great activities for the whole family including face painting, bands, song stylings by the Side Effects, food, drinks, and more. Also, new for this year the critically acclaimed Long Island Blues Society will be performing. Bands will be playing until 3:00 PM so plan on staying around after the walk for an afternoon of fun and socializing.
Be sure to put Walk Day on your calendar. And listen for walk PSA's on your local radio stations - KJoy, B103, Island 94, WHLI, Clear Channel, WPLJ, WOR, WBAB/WBLI, WGNY/WTSX.
We’re counting on YOUR help to make this the best walk ever!
