Two Weeks to Go! Join the NAMIWalk!

For the sake of those we love, family and friends who have a mental illness, sign up now for the NAMIWalk. Stand tall against the stigma of mental illness. Make a donation and come to Hartford’s Bushnell Park on May 18 to help us raise funds we need so that the Connecticut chapter of the National Alliance for Mental Illness can continue to offer the free support groups and educational programs it provides more than 8,000 people each year. We’re two weeks away and just over halfway to our $200,000 goal. Please go to www.namiwalks.org/connecticut, and sign up now. And remember: All donations are tax deductible. For more information, call Janice Shilosky or Iris Nazario at 800-215-3021. Where: Bushnell Park, Hartford When: May 18 Distance: 5 K Check-in time: 9:00 am Start Time: 10:00 am
