I participated in a NAMI Walk a few years ago with some of my co-workers. Really fun and met a lot of cool people involved in mental health. Definitely excited to do it again in the future!!
This is so awesome; I'll have to ask my parents about participating in the walk closeby to me this fall! Thanks for posting this

That's a great idea! Thank you for reading. It is a really special and unique experience to see so many members of a community come together for an emotional common cause. Let me know what you learn!

Ye I have been on a walk ! a year ago! It was at UCF! It was pretty amazing. :) I was working a booth there and did some walking
Great feedback! This type of work glistens on a resume also. :)
I was a part of NAMIWalks in NYC a few years ago and it was amazing! Before walking, we were asked to write down the name of someone that you're walking for and I wrote down the name of my friend who was in a facility at the time. It felt good to walk for her. I had never been to an event that had such a positive atmosphere and it was great to be around hundreds of people who cared so strongly about mental health awareness :)

What a wonderful way to honor your loved one.
I participated in NAMI a couple of weeks ago it is a very fun and supportive place just like 7 cups is!!!
@BeautifulMermaid
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us!! Was this your first walk? Did you walk for fundraising or awareness? or both?

@BeautifulMermaid Yay! Glad you had a good experience. Both NAMI and 7 Cups are very special places.
